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

*the drow jumps back not quite avoiding the blade but gaining nothing more than cut material it does no actual physical damage*

Drow: Hmmmm so the mageling wishes to play after all?
*the drow says something in a language to ancient to be understood*


*the ground behind Sarah shakes slightly and two skeletal figures stand behind her, the drow smirks*

a little outnumbered?

*Sarah looks behind herself, seeing the skeletal figures and frowns.* 'Now that just figuers.' *she thought as she looks back at the drow.

"Can't fight your own battles...have to get the die to do it for you, hmm?" *She says, knowing she pushing her luck, but hoping it would buy her enough time to attempt what she had in mind. She stood ready waiting for one of them to attack...as she gathered her thoughts.*

*The air about them seem to shiver and tremble for a moment before the figures behind her seem to shatter as they were attacked by a white tiger[her fermiler(sp?)] and a couple of small, round objects explode near them.*

"Now that there out of the way its just us." *She said as the air trembled one last time before the three of them seemed to have walls come up around them, blocking them off from prying eyes. Smiling she looked at the Drow.* "Now lest see what you can do."

*Ecg stands outside the compound and casually drops his load with one arm.*

The packs hit the tamped earth and bits of crushed stone pavement.

*He takes a deep breath in, licking the sides of his fangs in anticipation while his eyes adjust*

"Hello?!! I came here to become a strong sorceror like my father and his father before him. People told me to seek out the Empire for that!"

Here goes nothing</>

*a servant walks out of the compound*

S: You wish to join the war effort?
*looks him up and down*

S: I suppose you look the type, the commanders are in the city somewhere but... well no-one really wants to be left alone with one of the commanders...

*servant seems to realise he has spoken out of term and suddenly looks very nervous*

S: there's trouble near by... sorcerors all over the place- enemy one's i mean.... eh so step inside quick before....

*there is a bright flash of magic from the fight near by, the servant jumps and scurries to the door*

S: hurry up!!

Drow: You amuse me... well done, i suppose you did pass first grade after all, but i wonder how well you would do without your little contraptions... SARA

*the drow laughs*

Drow: little child.... you should run back home to your parents, you might get there just in time to see me kill them *grins*

*the sun gets visibly lower in the sky making shadows long and dark, the drow seems to melt into them becoming almost impossible to see you could almost sware he was in fact dissolving into the very darkness in which he stands*

[Ecg]: *Leans close against the wall*
"Commanders, huh? Yeah, well- I'm a half-demon."

*Enters*

"Sorcery kinda runs in the family. Just... keeping up a tradition. Who do I report to?"

*Sarah glared at the Drow as she pondered over how he know her name. Modsil (her tiger) watched the drow closly as she moved to har masters side.*
"My contraptions are not my only trick...and your 'disapearing' trick will not work on me. I know it is only an illusion."
*She willed a light to shine down on the Drows head conter-acting the shadows effects. She keep this change in her mind so as to set the illusion before moving on.*
"Now that that out of the way...drop the rest of your distractions and deal with me yourself!"

Drow: well actually

*the drow dissapears and then taps her on the shoulder (magically not with his actual hand)*

Drow: I was shifting plain... you really should pay attention little girl,

*shakes head*

Drow: but i will deal with you if that is what you so dearly wish...

*by now Sarah has gained the attention of many of the troops standing around mostly wielding large weapons*

'I'm out of my league here.' *Sarah thinks after looking over her shoulder then in front of her at the troops.* 'Now the question is, are they real or an illusion?'

*She readys herself for there attack...know she can't win.* "So this is your way of dealing with me YOURSELF! You disapoint me...I thought one of you power would come and face me, not hide behind countless tricks."

half deamon... well we can't all be perfect now can we

Drow: I am not hiding.... and they havn't touched you, they are just interested to see what will happen to you, not that i can blame them its not every day someone quite so foolish... and loud mouthed as yourself comes here now is it...?

*laugh*

now little girl let us see how quickly you scream for mercy

*the drow spreads his hands and the earth trembles the sky suddenly cloudy and ominous there is absolute silence around the two of them, then suddenly there is a quiet buzzing noise and what looks like a swarm of wasps surrounds sarah*

[Ecg]: No I suppose not.
(then through the side of his mouth) : It still has its advantages though.

*He shrugs*

So where do you think I should go in order to meet one of these commanders then, eh?

*Sarah does her best to stay calm as she looks at the swarm around her.* 'Well theres no way I can trick these things and theres to many to try and hit them. Now whats a good way to get rid of them?' *She wonders to her self. Not being trained in very much battle magic, she is now realising how deep a hole she's dug for herself.*

'Now if I could only think of a spell to blast them with, before they attack....Ah wait!' *she then smirks, as she slams the end of her staff into the ground in front of herself and a small glow forms at the bottem. The glow shots up her stuff and in gulfs the swarm in an intance heat.*

"Scream for mercy, you say?" *She says with a smirk.*

*the wasps being but spirit matter reform after sarah's attack into one very large very angry wasp*


Drow: Oh well done mageling

The commanders sir... oh yes i suppose that you should meet with someone, I thought you would just find one yourself, can't really miss them though.... if you get my meaning sir

*A fanged expression forms as Ecg's mouth clicks*

(To the minion) I've... not been, around civilization for awhile.

*A fireball floats above the tip of his finger and floats across his shoulders from one arm to the other without singing anyone. He puts it out.*

"A bit out of it maybe, but not weak."

*As the ball extinguishes it forms the faint dying outline of a sword-shape for a few moments. In that time he draws it against the neck of an imaginary opponent in front of him.*

"Well this is an interasting bug your summoned." *Sarah said as she eyes it.*

*With a deep sigh Sarah take a small step back from the wasp, and held her staff infront of her, shrinking it, till it was small eunough to fit in her bag. After slipping the staff away she held both of her hands, palm up, in front of her and stared at the wasp. It seemed to shudder a bit in the air as two twin balls of light formed in Sarah's hands.*

"How much do you value the matter used to form this wasp, drow."
*she asks off handedly.*

"Hmm, Nothing to say, then I shall asume you don't." *A small smile crosses her face. The twin balls glow a bit more and the wasps image shutters again before it seems to start to change shape and means.*

"I do believe that your bug want be bothering me any more." *She says as she hopes her plan is working. The wasps had changed form into a small, swallow like bird as it havered in the air.*

Drow: the wasp it's self is of no consiquence, it was just to distract you for a moment

*Sarah is tapped on the shoulder with the force of what assumes to be that a brick might exert if thrown from twenty stories, by a golum*
