She stared at Jessala for a moment. They really didn't trust her.
"Okay," Kaelir said. She gave the book to jessala.
"It's not going to work," Shaine said. She coughed up more blood. "Once the names are written down, they stay written down. And the shadow servant is coming for me."
"I killed it, Shaine. I went back to the homeland in Gracia and fought it. It nearly killed me."
"No," Shaine said. She coughed again. Kaelir looked around for a napkin, a cloth, or something to wipe the blood off of Shaine's face. "No, it can't be killed like that. Not this one. You have to find the one who is controlling it."

Tregarde sighed. She always did suspect there were still remnants of the cult scattered across the land. It just seemed too easy that there would be only one shadow creature, or that if there was only one that it could be dead. And who know how many members might still be practicing? She looked to Jess and gave a nod. The book was too vulnerable in one of their rooms. Then she put a reassuring hand on Kaelir's shoulder for a moment, the lady never seemed to believe in herself as much as others do. She then turned to Shaine.
"Alright, you can tell us about it while we get you cleaned up." She dipped a napkin in the pitcher and wrung out some of the water. "Sorry, but this is going to hurt a bit till we get all that glass out of you."
(( if The Vault is what it sounds like, I was actually thinking along the same lines and was going to mention the idea IC soon also. ;Þ

Jessala takes the book and holds onto it while she watches on, her magic still coursing through her. ((you'll love it =P ))

"Wish we had a healer or something," Kaelir said as she tried to pull some of the glas out of Shaine. Shaine tensed up and closed her eyes.
"Just try to relax," Kaelir said. "Breathe."
Shaine's face instantly went paler. "it's here," she said, a moment before a huge rushing sound filled the room, and something giant and dark broke through the window.
Kaelir ran for her sword, but was thrown back against the wall.
"Get shaine! It's going for her!" Kaelir couldn't see anything. She was blinded for a moment.
She heard Shaine begin to scream.

"I knew I woke up in the morning for a reason," said Jessla, a smirk crossing her lips as she let loose her magic into the creature, not intenting to kill it but to hit it with enough force to knock it back. No sooner had she released her magic that she began another spell. "Grab the girl! I'll keep this thing at bay!"

Reacting mostly by instinct, Tre grabbed Shaine and pulled her off the bed, shielding the stranger with her own body. Silently, inside, she cursed her lack of armour or weapons at that moment – being dressed in nothing more than some loose fitting silk, she didn’t expect trouble at home.
She planted her feet and prepared to make a dash for the door. She was about to push off when she spotted Makora in the doorway. The way out was blocked.

The giant shadow creature seemed unphased by Jessla's magic. It began to head for Tregarde and the girl. The room was suddenly unbearably cold; like it was made out of ice.
"Makora! get out of the way!" Kaelir grabbed her sword on the ground and shoved it in the sheathe, then ran to the doorway, trying to push Makora back into the hallway.
"We have to get somewhere magically sealed - and strong," Shaine said.
The magical energy was so strong from the shadow creature that Kaelir thought her ears were about to burst and bleed. She touched her nose and when her hand came away she saw it was smeared with blood.
The shadow creature charged past Jessla, knocking her backwards, and straight for Shaine. The thing was fast, too.
"Run!" Kaelir shouted. She grabbed her sword and ran toward the monster.

Knowing virtually nothing about magic, Makora didn't know what to do. After Kaelir had shoved him into the hall way the only thing he could think of doing was to run to his room and grab his swords.
After he quickly returned from his room, his dual swords firmly held in his hands he stood in the hallway off to the side waiting for everyone to exit.

Tregarde did the only thing she could once Makora moved - she shoved Shaine through the doorway. From the noise behind her she could tell the creature was coming. She turned, crouching low, and sprung towards the center of the shadow.

"Oh no you don't" she said, still grinning as she recovers from being knocked down. Pointing her hand towards the creature, she calls out in the Abyssal tongue and grins as she feels magical energy seep towards her. "That's right," she said in the Abyssal tongue, "if I can't destroy you I WILL consume you. You may not be indestructible but it is magic that keeps you here, and it is your magic I will unravel!" *then in a loud voice back in the common tongue* "Run to my herb garden and close the doors! I have it sealed off so nothing can break in, magical or otherwise!"

Kirisa heard the commotion int eh halls from the otherside of the door, and looked up witha start. She had been looking over some reports, which she dropped tot he floor as she srpang for the door, grabbing ehr sword which was set on a rack to it's side as she went. Sparsely dressing in bare "clothing" that a dark elf would call "casual wear", she was far from equiped for combat, but she wasnt about to go changing into erh armor with what she heard outside.
She threw and dived into the chaos outside.

Standing in front of the Dark Elven woman with swords drawn Makora heard a crash and saw Kirisa come bursting out of her room. "Hey! Risa! Theres some serious shit goin on in there!"
Looking down on the Dark Elven woman on the ground he bent down and took the Woman by the arm and lifted her off the ground and onto her feet. "Come on girlie, you heard Jess. We gotta get to her herb garden." he paused and thought for a moment then looked at Shaine "Problem is I don't know where it is."

Kaelir charged for the shadow thing, sword poised in front of her. the sword slammed into its body. Dark, blue black blood squirted out of the wound, spraying Kaelir and the floor around her. However, the shadow did not seem phased. It threw Kaelir back with one hand, sending her sprawling back agains the floor. The sword was stuck in its side.
The shadow began to screech in the Abyssal Tongue. "You won't INTEREFERE WITH THe WORK OF THE DIVINE MOTHER. Now GET OUT OF MY WAY!" The drains seemed to have little effect on the shadow's strength. With one huge, clawed hand it lifted Jessla up until her feet left the ground. The shadow held her up to its gaping face, and began to inhale deeply. It was smelling her.
"Nas'Vada," was all the shadow said. It opened its mouth further, revealing sharp points of silvery, metal teeth.

Tregarde slamed into the creature with all the might she could muster, letting a noise somewhere between a growl and a roar. She didn't expect to actually hurt it, but even the strongest creature, if hit right, will still fall.. It was NOT going to hurt Jess!

She simply grinned down at the shadow creature, her body beginning to fill with magical energy again. Responding in the abyssal tongue as she looked down. "You just don't know who you're messing with." before the creature could react, she called out a magical command and threw all her energy at the wall nearby, activating the carved rune hidden behind the wallpaper and setting off a chain reaction throughout the entire clan hall. She then slumped in the creature's arms, drained of her energy. ((fyi Kaelir that's an antimagic/antiteleportation 'summoning circle' that jess installed icly I assume weeks before this event lol. Nothing magical,s ummoned, etc..etc.. can survive within this circle for a short amount of time. Risa and tre can confirm it's installation )).
