*catches the scorpion with his teeth, and spits it back at HDS*

*the wire winds and the scorpion reataches to its launcher, HDS slashes at Ralph again with his scimitars*

*Rocks along the edge of the plateau begin to crumble away.*

*hopes the rocks don't collapse under him*

*blocks scimitars and dives forward*

*More rocks fall away, and the plateau is now a circle with about a 10-yard radius.*

*wonders if there are any other platues in the area, or if they will end up fighting on a pile of rubble*

*stabs at the diving Ralph with his scimitars*

There are many plateaus in the area, above and below you, about 20-30 yards away. Updrafts allow for far jumping.

ok, I can use my cloak, like in the movie

*leaps onto the next plateau*

*As if on cue, the plateau begins to fall...*

Crap!

*HDS lowers his hands, grabs the hem of his robes, spreads them out, leaps, and floats to the next platue like some ungainly flying squirrel*

*throws some rocks at HDS while he's busy landing*

Is this my plateau you're on, or a different one?

different one

*One rock bounces off of HDS's head*

Ow!

*HDS lands, keeps his arms and thus cloak up and fires a couple energy nets at Ralph's platue supports, hoping to cause it to collapse*

*throws a stickybomb at HDS's plateau*

the kind that's dynomite in sock covered in axel grease?

*throws a lightning bolt at the sticky bomb, detonating it prematurely*

*Ralph's plateau begins to creak forward, towards HDS's plateau...*

Think LoTR, Fellowship. Moria Scene.

*throws several energy nets at Ralph as his platform sways towards him*

Now, now... Ralph hasn't responded to your last post yet...

*The net flies through the breeze, and is intercepted by an airborn cow from another thread.*

which thread?
