The Temple Grounds

A spacious courtyard is situated at the base of the temple and several small out-buildings surround the area. To the east lies the temple barracks, a formidable and defensible structure that currently houses the Knights of Le'thorian and their Captain, Arrow Flight. Much of the structure has been raised from rough hewn rock from the mountain itself, leaving it laced with rich veins of adamantine to reinforce the walls.

To the west is a large training yard surrounded by sturdy stone walls. The rich veins of adamantine within the mountain leave the natural hewn walls of the training yard well capable of withstanding a great deal of abuse.

To the north the main temple itself stands sentinel over the icy peaks, both tall and proud with its banner flying high. Wayward soul or hero to be, all with benevolent intentions will find sanctuary within these halls.

The Mountain Side Temple serves as the central base of operation for the Patronus, an ancient order of champions and heroes, and an ever present call can be felt to those of a heart to walk the path of the Patronus. With a vast array of knowledge contained within its library, the temple also serves as a strong lure for scholars and historians. Adding to the diversity of the temple residents, wayward travelers often pass through its halls.

Messor came to a halt, draconic instinct flaring a powerful warning. Sharp eyes swept slowly ahead of him, and the hybrid strained with his other senses as he stepped backwards. The sudden appearance of faint smoke gave him a start, bringing his staff around in front into guard position. Snorting, he started forward, only to freeze, his gaze barely catching miniscule motes of ash settling on something ahead of him. Mortal eyes would have missed it, but from him it simply provoked swift reaction.

Staff blurring forward, he struck a lightning fast jab at the what he assumed was the thing's center. Subtly, he drew on magnesis to draw the metal in the staff to the tip, adding weight and mass to the strike. Messor coiled himself nonetheless, clawed hand drawn in front of him.

At once Balthazar's blade dropped, striking the ground tip first and immediately causing a noticeable cracking effect on the floor where it fell. His right hand sharply drew across the front of his body, to divert the forward jab sharply to the side, as he himself moved right, away from the incoming strike. The staff outmatched the range of his hand, or so was to be assumed, putting him in the inconvenient position of needing to close the gap or to use his legs. A silent stamp as his foot landed from the deft weave away from the staff, left leg rising up to kick for the inside thigh of Messor's left leg. It felt good to be young again.

Snarling as his thrust was shunted aside, Messor focused sharply on his unseen assailant. His eyes narrowed and he hissed in pain as the kick connected, his leg sliding out of stance. The hybrid surrendered to the hit, dropping his staff and half slid, half fell to his side. With a shove of his hand, he rolled away, twisting to bring himself back to his feet. Not wasting a moment, links rattled from around his right arm as he twisted apart the metal with his magnesis. A flick of his wrist and careful guidance of magnetism sent fifteen feet of chain whistling down the tunnel before him, the makeshift whip writhing through the air as if it was alive.

All the while, the hybrid's eyes roved, trying to catch the telltale signs that betrayed his enemy.

For a brief moment his adversary appeared, finely dressed in a faded canary yellow suit with a tailoured shirt beneath. His boots seemed magical, judging by the way they were soundless as he moved, and he wore an odd mask which seemed to obscure his face perfectly. In fact, with his hair, gloves, mask and clothes not an inch of his flesh was visible. He existed for a brief moment before the chain whipped through him, slicing him in two, and he promptly vanished.

But there was a scuffing noise, and the dropped sword suddenly rose up. The mans cloak vanished, now with a small bit of distance between the two of them from the roll her performed to escape beneath the chain. He took off at a dash, feet utterly silent, making for out into the main foyer of the temple, then for the front entrance.

Of course it was a trap.

Messor's eyes widened in disbelief as he finally glimpsed the figure, a man it seemed, appeared. He seemed rather ridiculous to the hybrid, but even then that hadn't stayed his attack. He repressed his surge of satisfaction as the chain struck, sensitive ears catching the scuff of metal on ground. He sighed as the signs of the man vanished again, and paused for a moment. His chain snapped out once more, catching the fallen staff and flicking it back into his hand, and once more he drew the chain in with his power.

Of course it was a trap.

But traps could be turned.

Messor stalked forward at a more sedate pace, eyes glowing brighter as the hybrid touched the other power in him. Heat surged through his veins as the electricity flowed within. He kept a sharp focus on himself, willing away the sparks that would betray his surprise.

Thus prepared, he began to run. Reaching to foyer, he paused, glancing around. Slowly, he moved to the center of the room, taking the staff in both hands and holding it vertically before him. The hybrid closed his eyes, turning to his other senses.

Come to me, you bastard.

A sharp whistle came from the cave entrance as Balthazar slowly walked backwards, hands lightly raised, as if to congratulate him. His sword was missing. "Well done," he said simply, "But you're fighting against a force far beyond the level of sorcery or trickery." One fist carefully pressed into the other, knuckles cracking. "Of course..."

"For now all I have is trickery and fists, so let's have at it." He took up a stance, legs wide to give him a firm grounding, both hands raised, palms pointed for Messor, as if ready to catch him from a tackle, left leg forward, left hand raised slightly higher than his right. But his trap didn't actually lay inside.

Opening his eyes at the whistle, Messor whirled to face Balthazar. Anger at the attack flooded through him, much to strong to resist. The hybrid launched himself forward, staff a spinning blur in his hands as he closed the gap faster than any mortal could, the stench of ozone beginning to pour off of him as he channeled electricity through himself into the staff. The amulet at his throat burned like a star, for the first time struggling to maintain the glamour that bound his true form and the potential for sheer havoc it could wreak.

A moment later he was face to face with the man, releasing his claw from the staff to slash for Balthazar's stomach with a disemboweling stroke. Messor spun with the slash, other hand bringing the staff around in preparation for a wide sweep should he miss. Only in the moment of attack did the hybrid lose his careful focus, arcs of lightning shining between the talons of his gauntlet.

And the attacks pierced the copy to little effect, dispelling its existence. The Balthazar holding the sword now stood behind Messor, raising a boot to kick the bastard out the door with all his mighty. While he was a wirey fellow, and obviously meant for more fluent and sharp motions like deflections and weaves, he still had some force behind his body. "Can't you even trust your eyes?" he mocked. The kick sent his own arms flailing back and upper half jerking packwards to give the leverage he could to give as much as he could.

After all, if this didn't knock the man outside, then he could be in some trouble. Lurking overhead were the men, the seven he had recruited, masked, cloaked and with a bundle in their hand. They looked suspiciously like fireworks, but their properties were much less pleasant, more akin to a flash bang, with emphasis on the bang.

Uttering an oath, Messor spun fast enough to be little more than a blur. Even his lightning reflexes weren't enough to stop from being kicked, and the impact lifted him from his feet. Twisting in mid-air, he slashed downward with his claw, burying the blades deep in the floor. Sparks flew and metal shrieked in protest, but he crashed to the ground only half out of the temple. From the floor he jabbed the staff back towards Balthazar, too far away to hit him with the weapon.

But not even close to far enough for the lightning that burst from the tip of it. Sizzling white bolts flashed across the gap, the thunderclap echoing heavily in the closed space. Messor allowed him a crooked smile. Dodge that, clown.

Dazed, lying on the ground after being tossed against the shield again, Reis shook his head, trying to dis-spell the nauseous confusion.

There was a wolf... thing. Attacking the shield. Dragging his mind through the daze, he stood up carefully, his right hand alight with flames, as if someone had turned a valve on a stove.

'Wolf. I suggest. You take a step. Back.' The words were slightly mumbled, making the threat not quite so threatening. It was obvious he was still not quite coherent with the world.

Malachi stared for several moments, eyes narrow and ears folding back. The determined almost playful manner of the wolf previous dropped away at once as he now bared his fangs and growled. <Rr back off!> he spoke, direct to the mind of the man, careful not to say it to Whisper. She seemed in her own little world, and that was fine with him! The black state of his body continued to seem to melt, but in reality it was just the same loose form it held. He took a daring step forward, a heavy threat to the man to back off or get bitten.

Well... That wasn't what he'd wanted. Still trying to focus through the haze, Reis held the flames up in front of him, almost threateningly.

'No, you back off.' The voice was confident, although perhaps only from Reis' bardic training. Clearer than the last one, it gave the slight illusion that he was coming out of his daze. Though, perhaps somewhat dispelled by the way he supported himself against the wall. He hoped the beast didn't call his bluff, he was in no fit state to do any sort of fighting...

It was then that Whisper roused, hands gripping her staff tightly as her senses were assaulted with unknown sounds and smells. Smoke was filtering into the room, and there were people on hand, she could feel them, hear them moving about. There was the unmistakable presence of the Corruption, but what of Reis and Messor?

β€œReis? Messor?” Whisper called out as she scrambled to her feet, backing up carefully so as to not trip.

Whisper was on her feet. This caused more than a minor panic in the belly of the hound who had once in the past encountered her, and had since heard nothing but tales of her power. There was a snarl in his throat, followed by two sharp barks as the strange extra limb protruding from his back lurched for the staff, aiming to snap onto or around it with the gooey substance he consisted of. The grip wasn't the strongest and it was only meant to surprise. He wasn't about to take on a psychic in a straight fight.

Whipping his head around at the sudden sound of Whisper rousing herself, Reis lost his gaze on that dog monster for a moment as she queried him. 'Here, there's a creature in the--' his warning was cut off as the beast lashed, and Reis, wincing slightly, began to move, '--room.'

Vaulting through the small space between the dog and the Bard, Reis, with heroics that were rather unusual for him, attempted to tackle Malachi. Forgetting to do anything with his meagre magic, all it was was the physical force of the young half-elf. Certainly not weak, but only average at best.

As Whisper stepped back, her foot struck one of her crystals and knocked it away. Once the circle was broken, her protective shield dimmed and faded. The Crystals. The swift thought crossed her mind as she fell to her knees, hand grasping for the crystal she had kicked. As her fingers closed around it, her mind was struggling to process the sounds going on to formulate some understanding of the situation. In the confusion of the moment, Whisper's grip upon her staff was an iron vice that left her knuckles whitened; Malachi's attempt to jerk it from her grasp succeeded only in throwing her off balance.

β€œReis, get back,” Whisper hollered.

The semi-solid form of Malachi being bowled underneath him, Reis finds himself moving towards Whisper, tumbling for a moment before the charging tackle's force was spent.

Then, upon the shout of Whisper, the tumbling acrobat threw himself off the beast, and away from the magical trap set for the monster of the corruption.

Whisper slammed her crystal back down into place. Most of the charges had been drained from Malachi's earlier efforts, but they still had enough energy in them to recreate the shield. The trick would be to invert the shield so that Malachi couldn't simply separate the crystals. As the crystal rejoined the circle, a ripple of light fluctuated from crystal to crystal and the dome of light reappeared. The chalk etchings shifted like sand upon the floor as the runes rearranged themselves.

Jerking her hand back, Whisper felt her back press against the cot behind her. Using it, she dragged herself back to her feet.

After coming to a rest and watching the sealing, Reis shook himself slightly, the tar-like substance that made the body of the wolf-thing stuck in his clothes. 'That thing, was disgusting.' He announced, his irrepressable humour clouded for just a moment, at the things he'd encountered so far in this assault of the temple.

"Come on, we need to find Messor and get out of here. There will be others," Whisper replied.

The temple was... quaint in Balthazar's memory. A dark cave set into the mountainside. It made for the perfect defensive position, and the perfect tomb. But he would not be tied to thoughts of the past. He brushed snow off his faded canary yellow jacket and called, "Whisper, Whisper, oh wherefore art thou Whisper. It's cold out here and I was hoping you had some tea and biscuits." The sarcasm rolled off his non-existent tongue fluently.

"We need to talk. Without the... Back up."

Whisper was seated atop a rocky outcropping located a good twenty feet above the temple entrance with her feet dangling over the edge. The route was treacherous and the rocky face steep. How the blind girl had managed to reach her precarious perch was a mystery, and each gust of chilly wind that tugged at her clothes and hair seemed to threaten to tear her free from the safety of the rocks.

β€œI sent them away, they bore me,” Whisper called down. She seemed distracted. β€œWho would have thought being revered and waited upon could actually be dreary and troublesome.”

"Lie to him," he said, leaning forward slightly. Not that she could see the motion for his emphasis. "Make him think you genuinely plan to replace him. That you do want Lzothozsh's favour. There's a small ritual you can undergo to do this. It would also smooth things over with the devout who want to make sure you're still a mad cult."

"A little thing that requires a sacrifice, but don't worry we'll pick one of the unlikable ones. Do you really have a spawn? I hope you know what they do. They eat their hosts, the corrupted.

"Feed it Corruption. Or cultists. Loves both. Especially when you put them together. So we get you a cultist, we put him on his knees then we feed them to it. Nom nom nom, delicious. Lzothozh's child gets a new body. Your cultists know you are devout. Corruption thinks you are making a dive for his throne."
