h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

*The energy flies forth and smacks into two pillars near the front door and immediatly it shatters for the pillars were made of a brittle substance.*

[Dragon] ~~~Just like last time, Healer!~~~

*Lumien nocts another arrow, and sends it toward the drow. This one is on target, striking the warlock in the arm. However, the pilot sees the danger from the dragon, and turns it to safety. Its tail hits the golden dragon in the chest.*

[Dragon] Blast.

*Fires a burst of flame toward the drow. Meanwhile, the wounds on Lumien's arm and chest are beginning to burn.*

*The warlock is unable to bring up the shield in time, and the drow fall flaming from the saddle. Lumien in the meantime, is getting telepathic feedback from the dragon's emotions, the exhillaration causing her to forget about the weakness spreading through her body...*

~~~We should go back for the dragons!~~~

[Dragon] ~~~First the drow! The dragons will take care of themselves.~~~

~~~That's not what I meant...~~~

*Lumien and the dragon fly for the guild roof.*

*without the pillars, the balcony above the front door colapses, rubble blocks the door*

[Peasant] They can't stop the dragon!!
*runs away*

[trusty manservant] My Lord...
*bows deeply*
Pardon, but the peasants are panicked. News of the Royal line's assassination leaked. The dragons raid unprohibited by arrow or magic. I fear riots. No one is stepping up to the throne, and the Prince is no where to be found.

[Peasants] Revolt!!

[servant] *whispers hastily* Methink it wise to flee, for one have not the divine authority to appease thy serfs.

*the mysterious figure sneaks into the palace and hides in the Ambassador's Chambers*

*Enters and finds the stranger*

Now what

My deerest sympathies on the death of Plan A. What happened out there! Our 'hero' exposes himself and you've shown the townspeople you have magic powers!

[Patricia] The High Healer saw through our illusions, she is strong willed

How about this: You want Craxus dead as much as I want the wolf, so let's say we arrange for a little accident whilst those two are strolling on the promenade?

< Ooh... >

[Patricia] Craxus is now a recluse, he is not seen much these days, an internal power struggle maybe the answer

I can continue my "pranks" and frame the peasants.

[Patricia] Unfortunatly I've been compromised, they can see through my illusions, what do you want me to do

*Lycan walks into the palace grounds sniff at the air*

*Lycan sniffs around the palace grounds*

what is that strange smell...

*continues to wander around the grounds, not going inside*

*hears sniffing, so the masked stranger looks out the window ans sees Lycan*

Gads! You were followed by a wolf! Hmm, how can he entrap him here in the palace? From there, you could disguise me as he. While you distract the strong-willed one, I shall slip into the Guild and cause a scene with his brother, the noble wolf. Then we mearly bring the two wolves back together and watch the fun begin.

[Patricia] You have the wrong Wolf friend, that is Lord Lycan the High Caretaker, Lord Wolfgang Von Altwelt and his brother Thurin are the Wolves you seek

<*bangs on door* Let me in! >

Oh, all wolves look the same to me.

[Patricia] Any other /bright/ ideas friend
