Richie and Selina both looked at each other as soon as Hellskeeper finished speaking, both of their faces sinking at the same time.
"Something rather bad?" the both blurted in unison, both coming to the conclusion that the Obsidian Guardian keeping watch over the place had already picked up on their entrance. "We need to move!"
Richie, having been leading the group though the corridor, charged on ahead, without so much as a moment's notice. Shadowcrash followed, pushing past the rest of the group and and disappearing into the darkness.
"You guys might wanna get a move on!" the ghost barked seconds later.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

with a single fiery leap Hellskeeper caught up with Richie ..and then started to match his running speed ..
" i guess there is a baddy on the loose then ?"
she reaches into thin air and pulls out a axe , made from a sinlge piece of metal, its polished surfaces seem to shine with out any light ......
" just in case its a really horrid thing ..."
Buck accelerated, his powerful legs easily keeping pace with Richie. "What do you believe is pursuing us?" he asked.
~union4lyfe~
"The very chick that's keeping an eye on this place, that's what!" Shadowcrash answered as the gang all pressed on to their destination. "Let's put it this way: there's no guarantee she'll kill us all if she catches up, but there's no guarantee she'll simply throw out back out into our world either. In other words, we need to hurry the hell up and get Isabella before she gets us, because if she does, it could get a little nasty!"
"Then we'd best make sure she doesn't!" Richie barked as he picked up the pace.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Apprently has gotten lost somehow....no idea but went off down another corridor

Buck looked around for a few moments, still keeping pace. "Where has our companion got to?"
~union4lyfe~
Both Richie and Selina skidded to a halt as the both of them squealed "WHAT!?" in unison. A quick headcount shortly revealed to Richie which companion their greenskin ally was talking about.
"Uh, that's not good." Richie muttered, pondering his next course of action.
"No time to worry about that now, Richie!" Selina barked as she made a few more steps forward. "We're close. Let's get Isabella out, then we can go looking for our friend, got it?" Richie simply pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Aye, alright," Richie groaned as he swivelled back to head in the direction they were originally headed. "If you say s..." Richie was suddenly interrupted as an unseen force hauled the fool into the air by his throat, pinning him just a couple of metres above the floor.
"...SO!" He squealed. Almost immediately a pale figure stepped out slowly from one of the fortress' walls, glaring at Richie as she tightened whatever invisible grip she had on the Durham lad.
"Now we're screwed." Shadowcrash groaned.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Tzadi looked around finally taking note he's lost muttering he retraces his steps and, using his flawless memory, he heads in the only direction they could of gone...

Hellskeeper halted and looked at the Pale figure , trying to see details, and if there was any more behind . At the same time she turned up her flames maximizing her defences and prepared her blade of flames ....
Buck turned and leapt at the figure holding Richie in place, his powerful legs giving him enough energy to reach the mysterious stranger. He reared up to deliver a classic head-smashing attack...
~union4lyfe~
The woman glared at the oncoming Buck, immediately sending an invisible force slamming into the troll. The very same force pressed against Hellskeeper and sent Shadowcrash hurtling into the wall behind her. The ghost bounced off the pitch black stones and slammed into the ground, emitting nothing more than a quiet agonised groan as she lay face-down on the spot.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Buck flew backwards, hitting the ground and rolling helplessly towards the wall. He collided with a heavy thud and lay stunned for a few moments.
~union4lyfe~
Tzadi eventually gets back to the group just as everyone gets flung backwards....

Hellskeeper stood firm and unleashed her Flames .....around her her fiery cloak expanded engulfing the Pale woman ((Blazing Aura)) , and then she added to it with a explosive wave of flames ((Combustion))..fire now wrapped the Pale women ..and having gained the Pale woman's attention ,Hellskeeper ensure she kept it with a third torrent of flame ((Breath Fire)) .....
with a sweet smile Hellskeeper redrew her blade of flames((Fire Sword)) and advanced ...quoting
and behold the mercy of death shall no be theirs , to them only the eternal fires of sorrow ....((Taunt))
"Oh be quiet."
The woman raised a hand as she broke her silence, dispelling the flames around her before lowering it to gesture an immense unseen force down onto Hellskeeper.
Richie, still being throttled by the woman's invisible grip, started to squirm in a vain effort to break loose.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Hellskeeper let the unseen force to drive her back , riding the force wave , she gathered momentum, milking the force of energy , and then with a sudden flex hurled her body upward .
Rolling in midair she lauched herself high over the top of the Pale Women , rolling again to reverse her body and land behind her .....
" decry not the bearer, in your heart shall the flame bloom, and your flesh shall know its sting " ...
Hellskeeper charged at the Pale women's back , flaming blade raised to strike ......
Buck shook his head as he climbed to his feet. He was still seeing stars after the high-speed collision with the wall.
"It appears the direct approach is ineffectual here.." he muttered to himself, as he glanced around the area. Spotting a loose chunk of floor, he grabbed it and levered it upwards, lifting it over his head and hurling it at the woman.
~union4lyfe~
The woman finally released Richie, allowing him to drop to the floor rather unceremoniously. As the hopeless hero slammed into the ground she then vanished in what appeared to be a puff of smoke. The slab itself sailed through the short-lived cloud as she then suddenly reappeared behind Buck, sending the very same unseen forces slamming upward into the troll.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Buck sailed upwards, slamming face-first into the ceiling. He hung there for a moment, then dropped to the floor, senseless.
~union4lyfe~
The woman threw her arms up in front of her, calling forth a dark cloud that surrounded herself and Richie, cutting them both off from the rest of the gang. She then returned her attention to Richie, who was struggling to catch his breath and get back to his feet. A quick few steps was all it took to approach the red-hair idiot before she immidiately grabbed him by his hair.
"Ow ow ow ow AGH!" Richie screamed as she borderline tore a few chunks out. "What the hell, man!"
"You", the woman barked, "YOU are the one who masterminded this little... excursion into MY home, aren't you?"
"Kinda..." Richie groaned, "There a problem, like?"
The woman yanked at Richie's hair once more, prompting him to scream again.
"Yes, there is definitely a problem, one I will have to put a stop to once and for all. And trust me when I say this,"
"Aye? OW!" Richie yelled again as she pulled at his hair for a third time. "Will you flamin' well knock that OFF ALREADY!?"
"I will do everything in my power to ensure Isabella's safety... that's who you have come for, am I correct?"
"Maybe?"
The woman paused for a moment, before continuing.
"I have no choice, then. I shall have to dispose of you. Permanently."
"Now how'd I know that was - AGH! Enough of the hair pulling, you stupid old bag!"
*****
Outside the strange dark cloud surrounding the Guardian and Richie, Shadowcrash had finally pulled herself together and was back on her feet. The ghost looked around for Richie, before giving the cloud her full attention.
"...Yep, we are -seriously- screwed, people!" she yelled to anyone still awake, her eyes fixed on the cloud. "I'm open to a Plan B right now. ANY Plan B!"
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."
Stuff
Hellskeeper waved her flame blade through the air where the woman had disappeared from ..
" err not really im more of a do'er than a planer , we could go after the hostage ..just a idea ..."
Tzadi calmly walks forward and tries to breach the dark cloud, hoping his ability to exist where a mind is present is strong enough to get him in....

The cloud bettered Tzadi, gently pushing him back out as soon as he stepped just a few inches into it.
Shadowcrash attempted to prod the cloud herself, finding herself unable to breach it. Punching it proved ineffective as well.
"We need to get Richie out of there, dammit!" the ghost barked. "Not much point in going after Isabella if our only way out kicks the bucket!"
Within the cloud, the woman hauled Richie to his feet and clenched a fist, a similarly dark cloud forming around it.
Sam: "My mind is a swirling miasma of scintillating thoughts and turgid ideas."
Max: "Me too."

Saying a few prayers in a forgotten tounge Tzadi's Falchion swings into the darkness, shining as bright as the sun....

Hellskeeper stopped for a second and then spoke
"ooooh Fu..err sugar , err guys we are in like big doo doo ..normally i can switch them off.. but there are times when them seem to have a mind of their own ..always when something rather bad is about to happen ... err heads up time i guess ..sorry ."
