Scene 2: Geneforge Series

GoldenKing stands boldly in the middle of the forum. Drakefyre, Sir David, Tyranicus, Nikki, Lord Grimm, and the Silent Assassin enter.

Tyranicus: Why am I not surprised to find him here in this forum?

Nikki: I don't know. Why?

Drakefyre starts to approach GoldenKing. GoldenKing starts to back away.

Drakefyre: Surrender now, GoldenKing, or you will be banned.

GoldenKing: Aknjbhvu!

Drakefyre halts for a moment, and then continues forward. GoldenKing scrambles away from him.

Nikki: Hey! Does anyone else smell that? It smells like... like...

Tyranicus: Vinegar. Drakefyre! He set up spawners!

Nikki: Spawners? What are those?

A mob of cryoas suddenly swarm out and attack Drakefyre. GoldenKing runs for the exit and escapes. Drakefyre casts arcane blow on the cryoas, killing many of them.

Tyranicus: Hey! How come he can cast...

The Silent Assassin claps a hand over Tyranicus' mouth, cutting him off.

Sir David: |\|07 4|\|07|-|35 \/\/05|)

Drakefyre casts arcane blow again. A rogue cryoa slips past him and heads toward the others.

Nikki: What's that?

Tyranicus: It's a cryoa. And I still don't have a weapon. From now on, I'm using javelins. And I don't care how much they weigh!

Sir David runs forward and kills the cryoa. The Silent Assassin gestures until it is quite clear that Tyranicus and Nikki should stay behind while the others should help Drakefyre out. Sir David, Lord Grimm, and the Silent Assassin hurry forward. Drakefyre casts arcane blow on more cryoas.

Drakefyre: See if you can destroy the spawners. There are three of them.

Lord Grimm tosses a reaperdisk at one of the spawners. It dissolves into a puddle of goo.

Nikki: What are they doing?

Nikki starts to walk toward the others.

Tyranicus: No, wait. Don't walk a...

Tyrancius stops speaking abruptly.

Nikki: What was that?

Nikki turns back to find Tyranicus lying unconscious on the ground.

Nikki: Um...

Sir David wipes out one spawner with his flaming sword and the Silent Assassin kills the other with a large knife. Drakefyre casts arcane blow on the last of the cryoas. He looks around.

Drakefyre: That wasn't difficult. So what was the point of that? Just to stall us? But it took up a lot of his time as well.

Sir David: 273\/\/ 80`/

Drakefyre: We need to get back then.

Drakefyre turns.

Drakefyre: Nikki, Tyrani... oh no. I should have expected something like this to happen.

Nikki: Expected what to happen?

Tyranicus gets up.

Tyranicus: I'm okay.

Tyranicus: I'm okay.

Nikki: Why are you talking like that?

Drakefyre sighs.

Drakefyre: It doesn't matter at the moment.

Sir David: 3293(1411`/ 21|\|(3 |-|311 0|\|1`/ |=05637 4641|\|

Drakefyre, Sir David, Tyranicus, Lord Grimm, the Silent Assassin, and Nikki exit to the Avernum 4 Forum.
