TheRavenHasLanded he/him Posted September 6 Report Share Posted September 6 17 hours ago, The Stormfather said: Over on the volcano land, the ground begins to rumble. Hot lava begins flowing down the side of the volcano, spilling onto the newly diamond gate. But something is off about the lava. The diamonds themselves seem to be melting. (Its possible I looked it up.) Something is not right about this lava. Somethign is impossible about it. Something is.... magical. Also Nick can notice that the apparently normal iron holds up against it perfectly fine, and the diamond doesn't, so clearly the iron gate is not, in fact, normal iron. The two gray-people again ready their spears, but not towards Nick. Towards the gate, where you can hear a sort of groaning and snorting, like that of a pig. And as lava melts through the diamond, something slams against the gate. @Dragonheir Quote can the snakes be hydra snakes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The creature you charge at appears like a boar, except for a few major differences. First and foremost, the very skin of it seemed made of ash, with two obsidian tusks like daggers. And the eyes. Two piercing red eyes like the molten stone around it. It grunted, spraying orange saliva across the ground. The bits of saliva hissed and began to melt into the stone ground. Clearly this thing was not one to be trifled with. It stamped one of it's feet, readying itself for a charge of its own. One of the guards lifts his spears and hurls it towards the creature, shouting something along the lines of 'Die, Magmarak!' The spear cracks against it's right flank, leaving a scrape in the ash which you realize is not the thing's skin itself, but a coating around it. It's true fur is reddish brown, like some regular boar. The other pulls a small horn off of his belt and blows it, and it echoes through the tunnels. It is responded by a lower note, from a similar horn. The Magmarak grunted again and charged Nick. It moved quickly and shockingly quietly, but clumsily. 31 minutes ago, TheRavenHasLanded said: "YOU MEAN EVERYONE IVE EVER MET??

The blood is the same orange tinge as the saliva, and clearly just as dangerous. (The blood comes out even if it would have cauterized the wound, because it's so resistant to the heat that would dry the blood but not the actual energy within the blade.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the people over there also have fire blood?” Nick grumbles to himself about over-optimization and Komodo dragons as he continues to dance backwards and swing his sword, drawing the Magmarak away from the civilians. Well, he tries to dance away, anyway.

The Magmarak roars out in pain, stumbling and slowing down as it's blood spilt out across the ground. Slower that before, it charged, ignoring it's fatal wound for the moment.

He chuckles, feeling no pain, as the skin knits together again. “Kill me once, shame on me. Kill me twice, shame on you. Or something like that.” SIMON begins to analyze the saliva, trying to find a way to contain and/or reproduce it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
