And there I thought that wine was a drink of choice for all the saints and their folowers. Oh well, more for me.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.

It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

"What do saints have to do with it?"

Well, the way you look, and the way you talk, not to mention the burned wings you have kinda give away your heritage. Just thought you might have something in common with those you worked under.

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

((The first two of those seem reasonable, but how can you know about the wings without peeking through the robes? Or did you assume that my character was naked all this time?))

((I asumed that your clothes had holes for wings. Otherwise it would be realy uncomfortable for you and you'd look huchback.))

(( I read over your character description and it would apear that we both done goofed. Does the line "she has a pair of robotic wings that act as (working) replacements for the ones she lost, "remind you of anything?))

Looks good, you're going to be the last of the late arrivals at the outpost. excuse me while I get this waaaay overdue turn written.
-turn to be edited in here.-
-review of actions complete, turn loading...-
Turn 2
As Scyrothe comes riding in, and introductions are being had by all, the wall of fog continues to advance until it envelops the entire outpost and the area surrouding it, thick enough to block anyone from seeing out, and completely ignoring the cold rain all around.
Raziel and Scyrothe
As Scyrothe rides up, and Raziel maintains his vigil, Variel notices something moving in the mist. At first it seems like just another adventurer gathering to raid the city, so he simply waits for the shape to come closer and grant him a better view.

The view he gets comes in the form of a wave of twenty bodkin arrows aimed right at him.

seven of them go completely wild, nowhere near him
one passes close, but still misses
another seven strike him, but only chip or scratch his bones. those spots will ache later, but it's nothing crippling.
however, five manage to do real damage, four of them struck his bones squarely, punching clean through and leaving painfull holes in his rib bones, but nothing crippling. it's hard to really hurt a skeletal dragon.
that last one though, that one was a doozy, it struck him in the jaw, right on the hinge connecting it to the rest of his skull, and it got stuck. It has jammed his jaw closed, and it hurts in a way that Raziel hasn't felt in a very, very long time.

closely following the salvo of arrows a line of twenty five unspeaking skeletons armed with sword and shield comes charging out of the mist, acompanied not by battle cries, but by the faint clattering of bones and metal bumping each other. behind them their bow-armed comrades step forwards to get a better view. in the rear of the group you see a pair of tightly spaces faint green glows, spaced properly for the irises of the eyes in a human skull.

It appears these things have no sense of honor, no comraderie for their fellow undead, understand concentration of firepower, and have no intention of negotiating. you've got a group of at least fourty-five skeletons on your doorstep, and they all want you dead.
Akari
As you followed the group, you saw the skeletons suddenly stop what they're doing and get into an organized formation of some kind, and they're all facing ahead.
away from you.

and so you creep close, and found yourself behind their green-eyed leader. you see the archers draw and fire as a single unit, you see the meele fighters shove forwards after the initial salvo, and you see their leader standing alone at the back of the formation, his back to you. You see his scale-mail armor, his bow, unstrung by his side, and the sword sheethed on his belt. yet the skeleton isn't visibly doing anything, just standing and watching. he's not far from his force, but he does stand alone, and his back is to you, instead watching whatever his force is attacking up ahead.

You don't know what he can do, you don't know what he's attacking, but you're in the best position you could ask for to do something about it.
Everyone Else
with no battle-cries, no screams of pain from the silenced dragon, and (as of yet) no yells from those outside, you've been unable to hear the sounds of battle over the pouring rain.
((If Scyrothe yells a warning then assume you can hear him, though that doesn't mean you know who he is or why he's yelling at you unless he tells you (and you believe him) .))
