From: Newsgroups: Subject: [L] Salamander's Response Message-ID: <> Date: 5 Aug 92 00:16:07 GMT ADMIN: Salamander has just heard Luthor shout for help from the farmhouse. Salamander swore under his breath. He knew that he needed to stay with the dragon, but he also knew that he was needed at the house. As he watched the lizardman pick himself back up, Sal thought over his options. FREE ME... the dragon pushed against the elf's mind. NO! SHUT UP. YOU ARE NOT TO THINK. The dragon was silent Suddenly a motion from the well caught Salamander's eye. Four figures had climbed out and were headed for the house with swords drawn. Sal knew immediately what he wanted to do. Not daring to cast a spell while controling the dragon, Salamander reached into his robes for a wand. Finding the one that he wanted, he whispered to Murell. "Hey.. see those guys by the well? Watch." And with that Salamander commanded the wand to fire. A breath later, a great ball of flame exploded among the group of lizardmen. Murell nodded in amused admiration. Not too many mages took peasure in blowing things to bits, and Salamander had a nack for doing it with a flair. His thought was punctuated when at that moment the fireball took the form of a flaming skull and then dissapeared, leaving a skull burned image in everyone's eyes. Of the lizardmen, there was nothing left. At that point, Salamander noticed that Luthor was hanging from the second story window. As he fell, he wished Luthor luck. A moment later, when Luthor got up and brushed himself off, Sal was thankful, and then proud when Luthor waved thanks to him before returning to the farmhouse. PARLOR TRICKS, the dragon mused. I HAVE YOU UNDER *MY* CONTROLE, DON'T I? YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS WILL DIE FOR THAT, HUMAN!!! the dragon was easy to enrage since being enslaved by the ring. YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT REMARK!! WE'LL SEE, WYRM. Salamander left it at that, and returned his attention to the house, looking for a sign of the conflict. -Salamander or Kaeli (thief): "Hey guys! There's hundreds of orcs around the corner!" Mok (paladin): "Orcs! Tally- Ho!!" (trots around the corner, great-sword drawn) Salamander: "Swell, Kailie, you did have to say the 'O' word, didn't you." --------- well, if you could edit it if needed, and post it for me, I'd apreciate it.
