Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

@Letter Bee

About the only reason I can think of my name coming up is probably from running a 3yr old and still going RP on these forums, but that's about it, heh :P

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

@Letter Bee

Hmmm! I doubt we have RPed together, at least not in the last 3 years!

Granted, I do use the same name in other games and social media, so who knows ;)

Dawn of a New Age - The Return of Magic

This seems like an interesting concept, @Letter Bee!

I could foresee a lot of possible shenanigans involving the underworld magic if you'd let me.

(I promise I will not start a World War Z!!)

"I think we both might do well with a low profile." The High Elf said with a thoughtful tone as he eyed them.

"The Mage District is in so much chaos that nothing short of an invasion could have make it any worse. Whilst we are probably going have to deal with the civil aspect of this mess at one point, right now I do not have any plans of explaining myself." Sharon nodded, suddenly getting an idea.
"And Friedrick could probably forge an alibi for me that I was on vacation when it happened, starting yesterday. As for who'll catch the blame well... "

Sharon chuckled for a moment.

"There just so happens to be a building sized giant demon currently running loose in the Mage District. Putting the blame on her should be relatively easy. I don't think she'll be testifying in any court any time soon. Though it might be more difficult to excuse the Captain... "

Whilst Sharon was pondering on what to do with the Captain, they were suddenly approached by Vashi. Sharon eyed the Night Elven magi and the way she toyed with her hair, but a hesitation fell upon the High Elf's face.

"I don't think neither a Night Elf or a Draenei would be that low key at the moment... especially considering that there was a giant Night Elf and giant Draenei just duking it out over in my back yard."
Raising an eye and a smile at Liaena, he nodded at her.
"Any disguise might work for you if we simply fix the story that you got blown up in a blast. I don't think it'd be hard to sell."

Pausing, Sharon took a moment and considered the options.
Magic was dangerous to use. Both the local guard & Sherpa's men were no strangers to the ways of magic, whether it be to disguise himself or teleport. It was possible, but would be risky.
If Rithrynn was here, going completely off the radar would probably be very easy. Although it would have been a method he'd not be too fond of, and he doubted Liaena would like it any more than he would. Then, of course, was the very fact that Rithrynn was in a very difficult place to reach right now, rendering said option even more problematic!

There was also the option of the transmogrify potion, but who to pose as?

"I'm open for suggestions... as long as they are above average level of attractiveness." Sharon eventually conceded, doubting that Liaena would accept a simple glasses and mustachio costume.

"Ohhh, are you SURE you don't want to buy one of my random bags of goodies?! 10 random potions for just one third of the price! Some of my sis Mipsy's leftovers!" Gimpsy's voice suddenly sounded throughout the workshop, closely followed by a tremendous crash from behind the shop as it sounded as if the gnome had just initiated an avalanche of junk in the storage room!

“It’ll go on his bill”

Under normal circumstances, the aforementioned sentence would have made the High Elf cringe, or at least wince a little bit!

However, by now, the part of Sharon's mind that concerned itself with financial means had long gone into a state of severe apathy, having seen his once glorious mansion ravaged. First there had been Liaena's little lab, a minor nuisance with only a small chance of blowing up the mansion. Then it had been invaded by a band of barbaric, no-good Night Elves, only to be finally toppled by two giantesses deciding to play out the year's greatest smackdown right on top of his house!

"Sure sure, I'll pay... " Sharon more mumbled than answered as he gave an acknowledging wave of his hand in the general direction of Liaena and Gimpsy behind him, even though by then, Liaena had already zoomed off with Gimpsy through the shop.

"Numbing potion please”

"Numbing potion. That would be another 4 gold... "

"I got this." Sharon suddenly answered as he turned towards the two girls surrounding the fallen Draenei warrioress. Walking up to them, Sharon muttered a few words of enchantment before he placed his palm on Mei's head. With an instant, Mei could feel an overwhelming sense of drowsiness and lethargy fall over her, as if her body was all of a sudden ready to go to sleep, which only grew more pertinent by the second!

Turning to look to Kathlin, Sharon motioned towards Mei.

"With someone as sturdy as her, I give you few minutes max before she wakes up, so work fast."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Your timing is PERFECT! We just got a new stock yesterday, and I have been working on a new line of products that I intend to launch in th following days! However, I've decided to give you a sneak peak at just some of the models!" Gimpsy spoke fast and sharp, her mouth constantly going as her little legs moved between a fast jog and sprint as she went through the shop with Liaena, picking out ingredients and utensils for Liaena before the black haired girl even would have a chance to mention their full names.

Which was an impressive feat in itself, given the haste spell still in effect on Liaena.

"On that shelf over there, you see the S.F.S, or Solid-Form-Solution," Gimpsy said as she pointed at one of the shelves above her at a strange, box like copper device with a strange set of tubing on top of it.
"Tired of having your potions stuck in liquid form? Simply add them to that device and it'll spray a proper potion and its effects across a 10ft radius!"

Gimpsy said, offhandly grabbing another box of vials and shoving them into Liaena's arms as the Gnome suddenly got a thoughtful look on her face.

"I've also been working on a device I call the Rock-It-Pack," She muttered, pointing at another metal backpack shaped device with two downwards thrusters sitting on another set of shelves a little further away.
"But I still haven't solved the problem of Gluteus Incineratus that tends to happen during its use, mostly involving the operator scorching his backside."

@rivaan

To run from the problems you've created yourself is a time honored tradition among RPG players!

The great @Rithy, slow?

Never would I have thought this day would come :P

"Shadows of the Past", a Warcraft Roleplay

There was a moment of thought as Sharon listened to the hurricane of reasons given by Liaena as to why she was in no position to recover Rithrynn. Nay, why none of them ever were in such a position in the first place!

"Maybe the giant demon could... "

Sharon pondered for a moment, but it was a train of thought the High Elf would not get to finish as he was suddenly swooped away along with Kathlin through his own portal by a hyperfast Liaena in the blink of an eye!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runes across an old, wooden floor in an ancient cellar filled to the brim with all sorts of nonsensical junk, constructs, vials and other ridiculous contraptions began to glow in a ghostly blue hue; as a magical wind started to pick up in the otherwise quiet cellar!

Then, a magical portal suddenly expanded, as Kathlin and Sharon, both dragged by Liaena, were suddenly rushed out from it! The sheer speed at which Liaena exited the portal caused tiny tendrils of blue light to follow them from the shimmering portal before disappearing into ghostly mist, and a cloud of old dust was blown up into the darkened room all around them, lit only by the magical light of the portal located in its center!

“Close it!”

Sharon had to take a moment to compose and reorient himself. Whilst the world may seem to move slow for Liaena, the journey had been anything but that for Kathlin and Sharon. The High Elf felt a slight ache in his back, most likely pulled a muscle when he had been suddenly snatched away by the human flash that currently was Liaena!

"It will take but a moment." Sharon finally answered as he nodded towards Liaena, having turned his attention to the portal as he raised a hand towards it.

"What's going on down here?! I've told you many times that my Emergency-Teleport-Circle-for-Rent is, as its name would suggest, ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES!!"

A tiny, yet loud squeaky voice of a female could suddenly be heard booming through the room as the back door to the cellar suddenly shot open with a loud slam, as a smaller, diminutive creature came charging into the room with in a hellish march! Carrying a lit candlelight and dressed in an obnoxious yellow and purple torso and leggings behind a worn workshop apron would be none other than the larger than life Gimpsy Blitzfuse!

Despite her small, 3ft tall stature, the tiny gnome nonetheless managed to emit a domineering presence as she walked up to the group.

Two large, bulbous eyes glared at the trio from beneath her purple and turquoise hair, before the eyes fixed themselves on the High Elf standing close to the portal.

"MISTER DAL'DIEB, WHAT HAVE I,-" Gimpsy's already squeaky voice suddenly rose in volumes as she pointed at Sharon, before suddenly noticing Liaena standing next to her.

"Oh, and hello there dearie! Welcome to my shop! ... "

" ... LIKE I SAID, MISTER DAL'DIEB, THIS TELEPORTATION CIRCLE IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY! NOT IF YOU NEED TO ESCAPE YOUR OWN LITTLE PARTIES. WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS A DOZEN TIMES IN THE PAST!!"

"Actually, it's more like twelve... " Sharon tried to interject, raising a finger, yet that only seemed to make the frown on Gimpsy's face grow even wider!

"I am telling you now, Dal'Dieb, from now on, I'm doubling your rent if you want to keep this emergency, and I emphasize, EMERGENCY teleportation circle!"

“So are we leaving? I like this plan if you do, Mister Dal’dieb”

The High Elf's gaze passed from the curious, strangely optimistic looking Kathlin over to Liaena, then back again.

"If I said no, I doubt I'd get to the o in that word before Liaena had already dragged me off to Westfall. I'm still not sure if giving her that haste buff was a good idea!"

Sharon privately thought, also unsure whether he should also mention the potential of the spell having taking 1 or 2 years off her life expectancy.

"Come to think of it, I have always wanted a new place closer to the beach... " Sharon muttered, moving one hand up to his chin in a thoughtful expression, before he turned to Liaena and Kathlin, and nodded; all the while instinctively bracing himself in case Liaena should decide to run somewhere with him along!

"Not to speak ill of your skills or anything, but I do believe the barrier I set up is more than a match for a yet so simple apprentice." Sharon said as he glanced over at Kathlin. Though Kathlin had never shown anything but t e best intentions and did seem to have an elevated magical potential despite her simple class, Sharon doubted that her skills were enough to contest with that of a long lived High Elf and esteemed student and teacher at the Dalaran academy of magical sorcery!

"Aran kehn, rahs fuhs." Sharon suddenly muttered, before thumping the butt of his silver staff into the ground two times.

For a moment, a creeping silence ran across the entire mansion like a wave, as the invisible enchantment was dispelled by the utterance of the keyphrase. The only noise was the not-so-subtle noise of the fleeing elves and nightsabers who apparently already had decided it was time to ditch his soon-to-be ex-mansion!

"One of the first things we were taught at the Institute of Enchantment back at Dalaran was to attach a keyphrase, or password if you will, to our *simpler* wards, so that we could more easily unravel them at a moment's notice than have to go through a lengthy ritual of disenchantment."

Sharon explained with a smile as he looked over at Kathlin, apparently enjoying any chance he got to show off his superior magical knowledge!

"Now, I will begin the ritual of teleporta,- thank you, Friedrick."

Sharon interrupted himself to thank Friedrick as the butler seemingly appeared out of nowhere and handed him a Rune of Teleportation, before the High Elf returned to focusing on his ritual.

"This is going to take a few seconds, a minute max... any special destination in mind?" He asked, turning to look over at Liaena with a smile, all the while motioning for them to come closer. However, his confident smile would suddenly fade for a moment, as if the High Elf had just remembered about something.

Turning towards Liaena, he quirked an eyebrow at her.

"Liaena... aren't we forgetting about someone?"

"Finally, this beauty is finally ready for the second salvo!"

Sharon proclaimed as she slapped the last copper seal shut on the fel crystal containment capsule, taking a good few steps back to simply admire his handiwork.

"Now, the probability of a giant-demonic-occurrence should have been significantly reduced, and we should get a proper translocational event upon initiation!"

He said to himself as he began to push against the side of the large telescope, in order to angle towards the last known direction of Malizia in the garden. However, as he finished turning it, the High Elf would almost jump out of his boots as he heard the overbearing voice of Serphia suddenly rumble through the entire mansion!

"Good light, is that a second monster?!?"

Sharon immediately thought to himself when he heard the voice, before he scurried towards the "new" window in his sanctum, courtesy of the giant Death Knight, and gazed out into the garden.

Perhaps the first thing he saw was a -distinctly familiar- pair of two massive, purple buttocks standing high above the ground. Or, more precisely, none other than Serphia's own giant backside, now on an utterly massive Night Elf that towered over the garden! A little further to his right, Sharon could see a group of eight or so normal sized Night Elves directly behind Serphia, seemingly cheering their beloved Captain on whilst brandishing their weapons.

And to her left... an incoming, giant and demonic Malizia, charging at full speed at Serphia who seemed still busy gloating!

It was not difficult to imagine how this could all go wrong...

"Ahem... " Sharon cleared his throat, as he tried to call out to the giant Serphia's little gang of supporters behind her.

"I am sorry to interfere with the festivities, girls, but I think you should all move! ... like, move right now!"
