Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
LungTien lands at the exit of Delgarath's town, the one towards Iyrevi's cave. Time has finally come for his gathered allies and him to make their way through the pink ancient's lair,, and resurrect the captive and dead dragoness to free her from her jailer's claws. The black primalist was determined to succeed, whatever they would have to fight inside the caves. Remembering the way, the Helian dragon will likely have to lead his group, and he warily eyes the road leading to Iyrevi's lair while casting some defensive spells and healing breezes, in case.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
... A pair of saris are casually talking to each other outside the gate. One is sitting on the steps of the portal, the other is sitting on their empty cargo disk. Another watches the scene from the tavern, and a fourth seems to just be resting under a tree's shade.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
(( gonna join then))
coming through the portal from Dralk, his hometown and hangout, Romirez walks up beside his old friend LungTien. he glances around at the Saris around Delgarath, just taking note of what they were doing at that point in time.
"hello, LungTien. i heard rumor you were going to try to free Iyrevi, or something. i figured i would help you. " he says with a slight smile to the black Primalist. "me being the muscle, you being the magic user and all that..."
Romirez currently had on his battle armor, and his often used Demon Claw. he favored that claw, because it gave him a boost in battle capability that he loved. he had gained the claw in a fight with Son of Gigaroth, when he had pried it from the Blighted beast. he waited for his friend to reply, hopefully explaining what they were going to do.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The ancient spellcaster notices his friend's arrival and turns his eyes to glance at Romirez, glad to see him here.
"Hello, Romirez. It is good to see you. But no, we aren't going to free Iyrevi, but a dragoness he is holding captive and dead in his lair, to do experiments with her organs... we are going to resurrect and free her."
Temeraire glances at the other ancient's battle scales and nods.
"You are right. Sadly, I doubt Iyrevi will let us enter without moving, and having seen some of the beasts he keeps in his lair, I fear that we'll have to be cautious and well equipped."
The primalist pats his chest armor scale with his primal powered claw, and ensures his other scales are enough tightened.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
(( yays! mind if I join? I`ll bring in the ol` grape to assist ;) ))
Reagle, the large purple, and blue helian drake pads towards the two black ancients, glancing for a moment at the saris`. He nods in greeting to Lungtien, and Romirez*
"Glit`sita! Ieo heard there`s a rescue planed to free an old friend?"
He`s wearing his best armor, and crystals just in case a fight takes place, his claws cloaked by his emerald tipped claw weapons. Green doesn`t exactly offset well against his light purple scales, but they will have to do.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
((Bah, been watching this thread and debating who to throw in for days! ;p I'll join in too!))
Landing ontop of the closest Delgarath building, an avarage-sized, dark grey adult dragoness fixes the gathered with two large, dark blue eyes. Her expression was rather blank, curious in a way if anything as she examined each of them carefully, adjusting her wings better around herself while sitting down.
Cynny kept quiet for a second, then a slight smirk made its way on her muzzle.
"I thought you'd need a paw ...or four of help, Temeraire."
((Hope it's good enough! ^-^ First forum RP, will try to not forget to post lol!))
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Where she had come from was a mystery... but an emerald green hatchling had appeared nearby, her vaguely jaguar-ish, stocky figure ambling forwards with a bit of hesitation. Her thin, barracuda-like jaw was lowered near to the ground, spines flattened back across her shoulders, forked tongue occasionally darting out into the air much like a snake's. Not a word was said, her wings shuffling over her back, hunching close to the ground like a cat about to pounce. Had she heard of the news, and arrived to help? Had she just stumbled upon the group? The answer was not clear, but her golden eyes burned with the intensity of a hungry lioness.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
( :D seems Reagle and Romi are totally confused that they are going in there to potentially FIGHT Iyrevi, and rescue someone FROM him XD. EEEE *has to wait to join* )
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
((huzzah! - Also as I jump in, please forgive during the fighting if I don't use all the proper names and such for attacks - been years and I don't remember them all very well LOL. Also, I don't know the names of the up do date armor and claws so..just going with general comments for those too :).))
Frith-Rae swoops around the town once, tilting her wings in greeting to the group walking through town as she circles. The shadow that passes over them is rather large, not because she is flying low, but because she is so large.
She cricles once more in a smaller circuit before landing, wanting to make sure they were aware of her before she made an apperance. Formalities out of the way, she glides in behind the group and trots to catch up.
She bows her head in greeting to each, calling each by name as she does, "Glit'sita Romirez", "Glit'sita Reagle", "Glit'sita Cynny", and she smiled toothily at the nearby hatchling, "Glit'sita, aoreban." She sees several Saris sitting around, but is unsure of their involvement and so says nothing to them.
As she caught up to Temeraire at the head of the group she greeted him last, "Glit'sita, Temeraire. I recieved your message and would be happy to help in this important hunt. Though I have never personally met the dragon in question, she is known to me - and what's more important, the cause is right regardless."
She pulls out several dragon claws from her scalepack as they move, sliding each one on a talon and then raking them through the sand on the roadway to clean and sharpen them.
"I certainly hope these old claws are up for it.." she chuckled softly.
"Do we have any specific plan of entry?" She looks around, to see if anyone had a strategy in mind.
(Please forgive if I've never actually met your dragon in person in game, I'm going on the idea that due to Frith's long-life she's heard, been around, and observed almost everyone at some point or another so she would at least know them by sight if nothing else! Makes it easier! XD)
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
((Yay! It's a Frith!))
The adult inclines her head to Frith-Rae and to the emerald hatchling. She remembered both of them, of course, even if the hatch she only saw a few days ago.
Cynny's expresion remained unchanged, watching the others from the fair distance of her building roof. She had no clue why she -was- here, she had no clue if they were going out of this -alive-, but hey, that was the joy of living!
And living is what all of us have to do.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The Helian spellcaster turns his head to bow towards Reagle.
"Hello... it is nice to see you... we aren't going to rescue an acquaintance but still a dragoness who can be saved and who has the right to choose her fate."
Temeraire glances up at the close rooftop as he hears Cynny's landing. His scaly eyebrows widen slightly, not having expected to especially see Cynny join the gathering. But his expression quickly turns into a grin.
"Hello, there. Yes, I think the more paws we have in this operation, better it is."
Then, the primalist eyes the green hatchling and tilts his head, not sure if this one was here to join them.
"Hello, young one... I don't think we have met before... I am LungTien. What is your name? and are you there to help us? .... hmmm... while it may be risky, a smaller sized dragon might be helpful when we get inside the lair... who knows? We will keep an eye on you, so you'll not be threatened."
Finally, the black ancient looks at Frith-Rae and smiles. "And hello, Frith-Rae. Good to see you again, and with us... I am sure you'd be fearsome even without these claws, my friend."
(hmm, should I wait for more people, or should I write the speech now?)
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The saris in the town continue to do what they've been doing - reclining, eating, chatting. Of course, the chatty ones at the portal turn to watch the commotion of gathering dragons, casually commenting on the gathering and watching them converse.
__________________________________________________ _______________
Location: Iyrevi's Lab
She had been simply reclining in the corner. A combination of admiring some of his research, experiments, and of course: her own projects. Of course, everything is interrupted as chatter filters in through a crystal on an iron band clamped to one of her horns.
There is a gathering here. We have waited for it since he first called for help... They will be invading his home soon. the thought wafted by.
One of the saris opened her mind to the network - a flood of sounds, images, and smells pass through it to everyone connected for a moment, and then it is gone.
Keep an eye on them. One of you join them if you have to. she thought, a message noted to everyone on the crystalline network.
... Understood. A word repeated several times over by many.
The red glances away from everything she had been admiring toward her busy host.
"The Sin have seen the black fool massing his forces in Delgarath. He is preparing to invade... You should make your preparations, and I will deploy mine." Azu speaks softly as she slinks through a portal anchored in the corner.

(Debateing whether or not i'll have a good enough memory to partake in this. plus, would Cole be useful in anyway...hmm. XD)

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Deep within the cavernous maze of the mines of Delgarath, the massive ancient is moving around his laboratory with ease that almost defied the large, metal, and clearly gnomian right foreleg he has to live with.
Crimson eyes scanning the various vats and jars that contain mutated organs, healthy organs, and even some growing eggs, the self-proclaimed scientist is rather busy as he makes notes mentally. He does notice when his guest seems distracted, however, and he pauses, turning his maw towards her, looking down.
"Is everything alright, my lady?" He inquires, arching a pink eyeridge as he takes a seat, right paw lifted slightly. "Do forgive me if thou wast talking and I didst not hear; mine research dost have a powerful call, thou understand"
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Some minutes later, Azu slinks out of the gateway again. She heard him as she left, and responds.
"I said - before slinking off to ready the warriors - that the Sin in Delgarath are watching LungTien assemble his forces to strike here. You need to prepare yourself - I've already started." She notes to Iyrevi, stepping a short distance away from the gateway.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
That said, LungTien starts walking in a line, coming back and forth, in front of the others, and eyeing them with a serious and determined gaze, the one of a dragon who knows he will lead other dragons in dangerous caves, and who looks ready to do his best to protect them as best as he can.
"All right, everyone! we are there to enter Iyrevi's lair, with or without his agreement, as we can't let him use a member of our own kind as a tool in his experiments! While his goal may look honorable, to save lives, the way he is following for this is not. It is not honourable to find a dead dragoness somewhere, and to not resurrect her while she may have family and friends, and without her agreement!
This is why we will enter his cave and free her from Iyrevi's grasp, whatever he will try to prevent us from succeeding! Are you with me?" The last part is asked with a louder tone, as a final question to integrate everyone in the operation.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The grey adult dragoness smirks, watching Lung as he says his speech. With or without his agreement, he said. The chance they will go in undetected, or even more, without being ambushed at least, was little to none. Cynny stood, however, on all four as the ancient finally asked if they are with him, or not.
"Considering I have come all the way here, I'm with you. There will surely be some guards to gnaw on too."
She snickers, and jumps off the roof, padding closer to the gathering and to the black primalist.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
From over the trees swoops in a very large black, and green drake. Could it be Ryzaak? The REAL Ryzaak? He`s come following his mate Cynny, and had decided to aid in the rescue. He lands sharply next to Reagle, Romirez, and Lungtien, breathing rapidly as though he`s flapped all his ennergy to get here as fast as he could. The ancient bows to Lungtien, and says in a very old, low toned, but stronge voice. "Ieo have heard the word, and would like to offer mine assistance. if nien will accept me." His blight is obvious, but not his fault due to massive exposure. however he is also an expert at primal magics
Reagle nods, and smiles brightly "Welcome A`meo. glad to see your strength has returned. We are going to rescue a dragoness from a mad scientist drake." He nods, and both ancients ready themselves to enter the lair
(just thought I`d toss in one more ancient to lend a helping paw XD)
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
( I think I have to reply to that! XD)
The adult dragoness blinks a few times as she notices the new arrival. In the end, she grins a little and pads closer to him, giving him a nuzzle.
"Heh, you were almost late."
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The ancient's eyes narrow into slits of burning crimson. How DARE they even think to push themselves onto his property! Not only that, he knew what the group would be after as well. Glancing to the dragoness kept in stasis in a large vat in the far corner of the massive lab, he flicks his tail as he tries to calm himself and think rationally.
Letting out a long breath, he nods to his guest. "Seems the fools have finally gone insane. Thank thee, Azu, for telling me" At that he dips his head to her and continues. "Also...thank thee for thine help in this. I may be study and intelligent, but I couldst not withstand them all. The danger of years of research and study being destroyed is incredibly high, and we must consider this an assault on my very life, for thus it is." He says a little sadly, looking around at the thousands of vials, books, and even a handful of mutated and unmutated animals.
Snorting, the ancient steps into action, preparing what he can to defend his livelihood from the invaders.

Finally, the black ancient looks at Frith-Rae and smiles. "And hello, Frith-Rae. Good to see you again, and with us... I am sure you'd be fearsome even without these claws, my friend."
Frith-Rae chuckles, "Iea am honored by your compliment. Iea fears these long years of doing nothing but building and guarding have impaired my fighting. But, only ban way to find out!" She raises a claw in the air to punctuate her statement.
"Besides, Iea would much rather meet Drullkaarr going down in a great battle than adding another chamber onto a forgotten lair..." she winks at Temeraire.
She eyes the hachling and nods at Temeraire's words about watching over it. She had watched over, instructed, and protected countless hatchlings in her years (none of which were her own) and this one would be no different. She would give her own life in its protection if that was what was necessary, and consider it a gift well given.
She watched the Saris move about, side-stepping a bit in nervousness as she did so. She was never fully trusting of naka-duskeal and their observations of the group before battle just made her antsy.
She watched Ryzaak swoop in, "Glit'sita Ryzaak...any and all help is I'm sure welcome." She had heard talk of his problems in the past but if the rest judged him to be of reliance she would not say otherwise.
She stood still for Temeraire's announcement nodding in agreement to his words. No Eilert deserved such treatment, dead or alive. Ends did not justify means when it came to using Eilerten against their will or wishes, or barring that, the will or wishes of their loved ones. If this Iyrevi was truly acting only pure of heart and mind, with only the utmost of goals, then there would have been no reason to not get permission first.
Messy business, all of it. And unnecessary, as she viewed it. Though it saddened her to think of such a great intellect as this Eilert must have to be used in such a negative way.
She sighed but her conviction did not waiver. Temeraire had sent for her assistance urgently, and she would not falter in helping her old friend as long as the motivations remained pure.
She stepped forward once, head held high and proud, tail lashing, "Ois ban is with kor'nieo!" Slipping back into the ancient tongue to meet his battlecry.
(boy, Lungtien, when I start trying to use your last name my fingers just fall all over themselves..I keep having to check the spelling LOL)

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Location: The Lab
"Indeed - I've also things to guard here as well. Things that mean much to me and things that I fear may not survive a trip through a portal. Cannot take such a risk." She notes as she passes by.
A group of soldiers arrives from the gateway behind her, and single file (to carefully avoid lab equipment), they follow her as she trails into the caves...
__________________________________________________ _______________
The saris at the portal decide to step closer. The one sitting on a cargo disk picks it up to sit on the portal steps, and the other stands up to approach.
"Mew... You all are going down there to save a dead person? I could come too - even if I am not very strong - so that it would not weigh on my conscience? It would eat me to have not tried to do the right thing." she purrs.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The green hatchling lifted her head upon being spoken to, and a curt nod was given. Surrounded by her elders, she felt a little... overwhelmed, so to say. Powerful dragons were at her flanks, those with experience, wisdom, and solid determination. But rather than let herself fall shy of these attributes, Symazok decided it was in her best ideals to try her best to match it. After all, she wished strongly to truly be among these dragons, some day. The young hatchling stepped forward, puffing up her chest, and lifted her head high.
"I am here to help, in any way I can!" she exclaimed, drawing her dagger-toothed, barracuda like jaw as close to shut as it could be... an expression of determination. "I cannot match the power of your claws, but I like to think I am equal of heart. Whatever you'll have me do, to help, I will gladly undertake."
She felt a little awkward, standing there after so bold a speech from someone so small, but she kept her head held up anyway. Her eyes were kept focused forward, unwavering, refusing to look to her sides so she might not see incredulous looks around her. No, this little hatchling was determined!
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Ryzaak seeing Cynny, he grins, and nuzzles her. then turns to the others, his talons glowing that bright blight green, readying himself for battle, his scales are toughened, and spike out at about 80% his one good eye glowing a pale silver "Ieo am ready when you all are. just say the word And I`ll have my claws, and teeth ready for some long needed action" He grins toothily and stands in combat stance
Reagle smiles and nods, then buffs himself with primal attack, true grit, primal alacrity, and primal roar. His armored scales gleaming in primal magics he`s ready for battle.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The dragon nods slowly to everyone, but blinks when his blue eyes catch Ryzaak's sight. His ruff spreading around his head in surprise, LungTien pads up towards the other dragon and tilts his head.
"Hello, may I know your name?"
Turning his head to look down at the green hatchling, he replies:
"Size doesn't decide of what will happen, young dragoness... your help is gladly accepted. Just don't go too far from your elders, we'll all need to be cautious."
Peering at the approaching saris, the primalist's gaze turns questioning.
"Any help wouldn't be declined, but... who are you? I never saw you before."
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The grey cuddled a little closer against Ryzaak, chirring a little bit. Well, at least she felt less alone now - she couldn't find Dae and bring her here, so she's been feeling a bit on her own, but now that was changed happily since her mate was there.
Cynny's gaze turned around to look at the approaching saris. Well, the more, the better, she thought. But...something just seemed off....She shrugged it off though, and started preening a wing.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
*Romirez listened to Lungtien's little speech, and others responses, and a sudden Saris wanting to join the little group*
"you all know me, i do not fear death, for i am Gifted. sworn to fight the evil in our land, be it Aegis or otherwise. i shall fight till my last breath!" Romirez said in response.
the large black dragon noted Frith-Rae, a dragon he hasn't seen in quite a long time. if she was coming, this was going to be an interesting fight indeed. romirez turned his head and went over his armor scales and weapons, making sure everything was on the way it should be, his Demon Claw cleaned and sharpened. he noted a few scales that were bent, some broken. his scar from Selarth on his thigh. his scales weren't as straight looking as an adult, but they had their own charm, showing his countless battles as if it was a woven rug with pictures on it. a few small scars on his ribs here, a few messed scales in a certain pattern there. he also was mentally preparing himself for combat, because this was most likely going to be rather interesting, and require a certain frame of mind. when he was done, he addressed the Black primalist.
"dear LungTien, do tell me you have a good plan of attack." he said.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
((Just wanted to ask of a proposal for handling that section when you hit the tunnels. Direction, order of movement (who is in front, middle back, etc) and line of sight are important. Here is what I propose to handle this:
You will be given a picture. Every part will be just a portion of the map as you progress further, and each piece will be based on what your group can see facing in the direction of the tunnel. That means if you have a straight corridor with a corner at the end, you won't know what is behind the corner, just that there is a long straight passage in front of you. Of course, areas you have been in already will be memorized and committed permanently to the map.
This also will keep track of the formation of the party's travels. There are cases where I need to know who is in the back and who is in the front of the group, so pictures will allow people to see it too. I may also use dice rolls for some things. Another question: if you aren't paying attention you don't get a dice roll - you just get hit by whatever you hadn't been watching for. Yes/no?))

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
(( sounds great Runedragon ^^ ))
Ryzaak nods, and churrs as he is nuzzled, then replies to Lungtien "Ieo am Ryzaak Flamespray. the real Ryzaak, Reagle`s blood father, and Ieo have come to pay my dues. you and the others her have helped free me from my father Reklar." He bows his repects, judging from how he looks, he`s a very wize experienced ancient. however his lack in `chet is obvious seeing he was only raised by a handful of dragons through his mortal life. His age is also visible, many battle scars, left eye missing with 4 slash scars over the lid, one earfin tattered, and torn, also a slight limp from a crushed paw, and many chain, and shackel scars from when he was prisoner. His scales show signs of extreme blight exposure as well, permanently greened, and deep black. Aegis runes all over his body glowing brightly with blight magics.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
((Thank you for the input - will get the bits prepared.))
The saris looked up at the dragon with a purr. "I am 'Dawn of Sands'." she states. Of course - she was telling them the meaning of her real name, something that would not be mentioned: Krohsah.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The adult eyed the saris speaking to them, her tail giving a few twitches. She didn't like this for some reason, but she limited herself to watch. In a way, it wasn't even her battle, she was simply giving a paw of help. Waiting for the other's reactions, Cynny begins to lay down, waiting for the moment of departing.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Reagle smiles, and nods in greeting to the saris "You are more then welcome to assist then." While Ryzaak also remains silent, he`s unsure of all naka. Especialy humans, and saris, for his own personal reasons he just sits next to Cynny, awaiting the go to enter the lair.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
LungTien briefly glances at his old friend when this one asks about a plan.
"I'll come to that..."
The black primalist stares at Ryzaak as he speaks, looking surprised.
"Ryzaak? the true one? ... I am glad to see you got free..." Temeraire smiles before observing Ryzaak with a keen eye. "... But you seem to be in need of healing and rest, considering your appearance... not that I doubt of your strength, but are you sure you are healthy enough to stand in case things get violent, Ryzaak?"
Temeraire looks back at the saris and tilts his head questioningly. "Dawn of Sands... uncommon name for your kind as far as I know... but well, you can come." In fact, the dragon wasn't entirely sure about this biped, and was more inclined to trust dragons.
The Helian spellcaster, then, walks to stand a bit away, in order to have everyone in sight.
"Well, I believe everyone is here... As for a plan..." *LungTien gives Romirez a determined glance, showing he was sure of what he was doing. "... I will lead the group, as I know the way and has already followed the road leading to the dragoness we will rescue. Romirez, you'll be behind me, as your melee skills will complete my own primal knowledge.
Reagle, you'll go behind me as well, at Romirez's side. Dawn of Sands, you'll take the third rank, followed by Ryzaak and Cynny, both of them aside like for Romirez and Reagle.
Symazok, your place will be at the fifth rank, behind Cynny and Ryzaak. Frith-Rae, you'll be our rearguard. now take your positions, everyone, and let's go!"
The black ancient, as he pads up to take the head of his group, hopes he has been wise and convincing enough. Having noticed Cynny's gazes towards the saris, he was rather sure she would keep an eye on Dawn of Sands, in case. He was also confident Frith-Rae would keep Symazok safe as best as she could, not having forgotten her warm and soft behavior towards hatchlings and friends.
-
Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
The red female nods at Temeraire's words, with a small grin on her face. She was going to volunteer for rearguard anyway and ask that the hatchling be placed near to her as she could protect it best. She hadn't realized the other ancient had paid that much attention to her habits.
She watched the rest as they filed in, nodding to "Dawn" the saris without words. The others appeared willing to give the naka the benefit of the doubt, so she would not start an argument before the fight. She just hoped they wouldn't regret this decision.
As Symazok filed past, Frith-Rae swung her head down close to the hatchling's earfins and spoke softly to her, "If Iea tell you to hide, then hide. If Iea tell niea to run, niea run aore'ban. Do not argue. If niea cannot flee then niea had best recall to your Shrine as fast as you can. Iea will not risk you being captured in this dead dragon's stead. Do niea understand k'iea (me)?"
She looked seriously at the hatchling - dragon to dragon. She understood the importance of a hatchling's ability to prove themselves in battle just as much as any other dragon; but she would not allow its inexperience to put the entire group in further jeopardy than they already were. She had to know that it would follow orders when it lacked in experience.
She shook herself as she followed last, claws digging into the ground. Her tail twitching back and forth as she already started looking around for possible threats. Her earfins twitched, straining to differentiate between natural and unnatural sound around her.
She shut away the last of her emotions to enter into a heightened state of awareness. She had learned through countless years that battle was no place for emotion. Battle-hardened in this way, her mind began riffling through the incoming sensory information - as her consciousness switched to instinct and logic.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Romirez nodded to LungTien as he explained his plan fully. it was sound, the caster and main melee damage dealer up front, and support out back. Romirez moved his bulk to where he was supposed to be, supporting his black friend.
like Frith, Romirez also has a method to prepare his mind for combat. although, he doesn't shut off his emotions as she does. his mind is more tactical, taking in the whole battlefield picture and deciding where his force could be best applied, given the situation. going into a lair with limited maneuvering range would provide a bit of a challenge, because his size limited his movements greatly. as all this goes through his head, he also thinks that he might take some damage should it come to a fight.
"allright, Lungtien. i suggest we move out when everyone is ready. i am in position." Romirez said to his friend.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Both Reagle, and Ryzaak ready themselves for the upcoming battle, Ryzaak charged blight runes, and spiked scales, his talons have been sharpened to a deadly point, his good eye clear, and focused. he gets into battle stance, and nods to the others telling them he`s ready.
Reagle buffs himself with primal attack, and primal alacrity, spiking his scales, and is also in battle stance
"Ieo believe everyone is ready, shall we proceed to enter the lair?" Reagle asks Lungtien, and the others standing right behind the two black ancients, to the right of Ryzaak, and Cynny.

The saris nods, looking at the two behind her - they will likely be watching her. She turns and scales up the hindleg of the dragon in front of her, using chinks and variances in the muscle tone to climb it like a rock face. At no point did she use claws to do so either.
"This is the safest place for me right now..." Krosah (or Dawn of Sands, as she has told them) mews, standing on the dragon's back.

Re: Resurrection and rescue (RP On)
Ryzaak Furrows a brow at Lungtien. "Ieo am the real Ryzaak. " He looks over his scales, they aren`t rotting, but are blackened, and his once blue stripes have turned a bright blight green. "HMmm. Ieo feel fine, just the blight turned my scales all dark.. but Ieo an stronge, however Ieo am not gifted so keeping Ieo healed will come in handy" He grins, and nods.

Symazok slithered on after the group. She was stocky, for a hatchling... a little bumbling, in fact, rather than lithe and agile. Her long, thin jaw kept tilting and twisting, aiming only one eye at a time, very birdlike in action... but that was because she didn't have the best binocular vision. As she passed by Frith-rae, the hatchling gave only a long, dagger-toothed smirk.
"You'll be hard-convinced to get me to do that. I'm in this, like everyone else. If you want someone to worry about, I'd concern over the naka. They're squishier than I am!" She gave a chirp and bounded forward... immediately making a face. Great! She had to follow near the back... that meant every dragon but Frith would have their butts in clear, worm's-eye-view to the green drakaina. She stuck out her forked tongue and let it dangle, looking displeased.
"Let's go, let's go!" she chirred upon hearing Reagle, tossing her thin jaw up into the air in apparent excitement. And then, much like a ferret, her adrenaline-filled body suddenly froze in a state of action, fully ready to bound energetically forward if so needed.

Frith-Rae snorted, fighting the urge to grab the hatchling by the scruff of its neck and shake it until it agreed.
Instead she chose to speak, "The naka are none of my concern. You are, aoreban." *she snorted smoke over the hatchling*
She continued softer, reverting back to Auntie tone naturallly, "Part of learning how to fight is learnig how to watch out for others. And if you can't be trusted to help keep others safe, then you won't be trusted to fight alongside them. Everyone watches everyone else's back - if you can't be trusted to do the same then you are nothing but a weak link in the group. Getting yourself killed or worse, causing others to be killed trying to protect you. Its just as important that you know when to back off when the safety of others is compromised by you than when to jump forward to protect them."
"As a hatchling, wether you like it or not, your survival is the concern of every other Eilerten here. That is the duty of the elder to the young. I'd rather you not be the *only* one to survive if it comes to that - so if I, or any other adult give you an order in battle then you take it." She sighed.
She trottedup alongside the hatchling, "Use your head and be aware of your limitations, Aoreban. And you and I will both live to fight another day. That is all I ask.."
She couldn't help but chuckle at the hatchling's energy and excitement.
((I am assuming someone can enter us into the lair here at this point...everyone's just walking in a line hehe))

The grey adult swiftly takes her position, snickering a bit to herself. She was excited for this - it has been a while since she raided anything, but Iyrevi's lair was something to surely look forward to in her eyes. Maybe there were things to slaughter inside, too, which would kinda make up for holding back from eating the saris in case it turns out Dawn of Sands was an enemy. In case.
In her eyes, either way, she didn't trust many new people. So thankfully, knowing Romirez, LungTien, Ryzaak and Frith-Rae, she felt somewhat at ease, but the hatchling and biped made her slightly nervous. Of course, she would make sure none of them tried anything.
Cynny rised her nose high in the air, sniffing the winds. It was about time to stop lingering about and get to action.
Lead the way, Temeraire~. She murmured, dark blue eyes gazing forward.
