<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Easy sure, but no less true.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Usually I'm not this ticked off, either. But she went overboard today.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Hmm. How so? I mean aside from what I presume was her just allowing you to take a beating.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

She can use magic if she possesses me. But pain doesn't have the same significance to her as it does me.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

It’s not about the pain; it’s about survival!

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Those are both achievable goals, you know.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Except one often finds the latter by enduring the former. Also, heads up. I see something in the distance.

*Points to the blue horizon, which lies darkened by clouds underlit with a fiery glow*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

You think it's some kind of monster? An evil king?
*Elbows Gio*
Maybe even an undead?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Unless any of those three happen to have fire magics, I'd find that doubtful. Look at the way the air moves. It's agitated. Angry.

*Looks at Gio*

I agree. Best find out what we're up against first.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I'll go see what we're looking at.
*Squeezes a ball bearing in my hand, a dark magic circle appearing above it before cloaking me in invisibility*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Moving forward, you eventually find yourself face-to-face with what appears to be a storm, albeit one of cinder and flame. Or that is what you think it is until it rears its massive head, and you suddenly realize that this is no natural force...

This is a dragon. Luckily, it does not seem to notice your presence*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Remains next to Gio in invisibility and analyzes it for strength, weaknesses, and hidden features*

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*As far as weaknesses go, there appear to be none so far as physicality is concerned, for this beast is no creature of mere flesh but one of pure roiling flame given tyrannical shape. It is made of fire however, so water of any kind and in large volumes would be a very logical choice, as would the removal of oxygen*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Activates a shadow walk spell to travel through the shadow of a nearby tree and emerges from yours*
Seems to be an elemental fire dragon without a physical form. We should be able to trap it without too many problems.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Nods*

Sounds good. So, what's the plan?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I'm aligned strongly with light and shadow elements, so attacking with water or manipulating air is going to be a slow battle with weak spells. But if we create a barrier with light magic and trap it inside, we might be able to get the dragon to burn itself out without having to fight at all.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Light can cut off its air supply I assume?

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Light magic excels in creating shield-like structures, which can also stop air. Trying to consume the flames with shadow is also an option, but I'd rather save that for if combat becomes necessary.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Hmm. Can light magic allow other magics through it? If so, I may be able to help expedite the process by removing the air inside.
