Host SM_Arlene says:
SUMMARY:  The crew has found themselves inside a hut.  They come across a dying Elven lady with half a sword.  This is the Lady that the CSO has been hearing.  She tells them to find the other half of the sword.  They have a choice now.  Take the stairs that lead underneath the hut or leave the hut.  Which will they take?
Host SM_Arlene says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Merced says:
::finds himself in the hut, and vaguely wonders where he has been all this time::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: feeling the Lady's life ebbing::

CSO_Singh says:
::Gently laying the ladies hand down across her abdomen, stands and quietly speaks with the doctor::  CMO:  Is there anything you can do for her?

CIV_Seng says:
::picks up the broken sword stands waiting for the party to move::

Host CO_Merced says:
::peers down the stairs, trying to discern where they might lead, other than down, that is::

CTO_Hanover says:
::positions myself where I can keep an eye on everything in the room and what is going on::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: purrs ::  CSO : No, I have no skill to save her-r.

Laugones says:
::Glances down at the valley, he frowns and roars to the air. Turning around he quickly walks towards the cave::

Loko says:
::stands by the crowd with a worried face, wondering what to do next...with...with these strange visitors::

CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  I had hoped...  ::Looks down at the lady sadly::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: I suggest that we take the stairs, let's see where the tunnels take us. I will keep my mind aware of surroundings to sense out danger.

XO_Jokeg says:
::taking the situation in, gripping his sword tightly::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: hands the book to the CSO.;:

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns to the FCO:: FCO: Which direction do you think best?  Back into the forest, or down into the darkness?

CSO_Singh says:
::Takes the book the CMO hands her wondering why she is giving it to her.  Slowly opens it to read writing that is beauty in itself.  Slowly reads it in a silvery liquid tongue.::

FCO_Doole says:
I have lights sources for everyone. ::hands them out::

XO_Jokeg says:
::takes a torch::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the XO briefly and smiles:: XO: Commander, would you care to scout ahead of us with the Lieutenant?

XO_Jokeg says:
::nods:: CO: Yes, Sir ::motions for Doole to follow him::

Laugones says:
::Stands before the pool, he swings his cane around his body and raises it up and shoves it down in the water. Chanting ancient spells he summons Dream Eaters, on their way to create illusions to the party::

CSO_Singh says:
::To self::  Ouch....

FCO_Doole says:
::follows the XO::

XO_Jokeg says:
:;walks down the stairs cautiously::

FCO_Doole says:
::keeping mind open sensing out any dangers that might arise::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: casts a sphere of protection over the Lady, a soft light shines around her.::

CSO_Singh says:
::Closes the book and looks down at the sword.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO: ::noticing the slight glow in the air around the prone form::  I take it we are leaving her?

XO_Jokeg says:
::has his sword at the ready::

CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  Keep that sword very close.  Whatever you do, don't let anyone you don't know have it.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Out of the depths of the pool the dream eaters rise.  With one look at Laugones they launch off to find the Luna party.

Loko says:
::looks at the CSO::  CSO: You got an idea what the book said ?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: By your-r command, she can be taken, or-r  left I don't know which is for-r the better-r::

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks down at the hobbit::  Loko:  Yes.  And I doubt very much our losing it would be good for your... I mean our world.

Laugones says:
::Turns around and runs after the Dream Eaters, he chants a spell and transforms him self to an Eagle flying after the Dream Eaters::

XO_Jokeg says:
::continues down the stairs:: FCO: Do you sense anything?

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO:  You are the medical expert Doctor.  What is your professional opinion?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CSO: What does the book say?

CSO_Singh says:
::Without thought, slips the book into her pocket.::

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Laugones is now a Great Eagle, very large wing span.  Can be seen from the ground.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CO: I have no feeling of r-right or wr-rong her-re Sir-r, I simply do not know what is best.

Loko says:
::nods::  CSO: I think you would be right...  although I know the balance in this world has been challenged before, and it always managed to keep in tact, no matter what happened...  even according to the oldest books I own...

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Not yet.

FCO_Doole says:
XO: Let's keep going.

Laugones says:
::Glances down at the hut, he lowers down and lands on the window. He glances at the party from the outside::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes the Doctor:: CSO: Ensign.  Is it safe to move the lady?

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  An Eagle can be seen in the window.

CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  It basically talks about some sorcerer named Laugones, who must not get his hands on the sword Mr. Seng has.  That the sword holds all the unspent powers.  I don't understand what that means though.  It also has a spell to put the sword back together again and that the Lady, who is the keeper of it, needs to have it mended for her to live.

CSO_Singh says:
Loko:  It would appear, the sword is needed to keep that balance.

XO_Jokeg says:
::wonders how far these stairs go::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CSO: So you think we should take her-r with us?

CTO_Hanover says:
CO: Sir we have a visitor!

Host CO_Merced says:
::turns at the sound of rustling feathers:: CTO: I see.  ::eyes the bird::  CTO: Natural or not?

CIV_Seng says:
::following down:: ::walks down the stairs behind the XO and FCO::

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  I think... ::Sigh::  I am not a doctor.  But she is pretty bad.  I am not sure leaving her is a good idea or bringing her.  But if the sword is what keeps her alive and mended will heal her, she does not need to be with us for the mending.

CTO_Hanover says:
CO: From the size of it I would say unnatural...suggest we move into the tunnel.

Laugones says:
::Looks around, he notices the Dream Eaters behind him. He studies the group with silence until he spots the CMO, his eyes light up, signaling the Dream Eaters to target the CMO::

Loko says:
::shudders at the name Laugones::   CSO: It would appear this way.... to be certain I would have to look it up in my books though...

Host CO_Merced says:
::frowns at the lack of any of his people being willing to commit to a decision::  ALL: Let's go after the First officer the, into the tunnels.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The Dream Eaters enter the hut.  One moves to the CMO, while the other two move into the tunnels below.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: casts a sphere of protection over the group.::

CSO_Singh says:
::Sighs::  Loko:  Tell me everything you know.

FCO_Doole says:
::senses the CIV, puts his hand up:: XO: Stop. The CIV is coming to join us, the others aren't far behind.

Loko says:
CSO: But if you would only know what kind of being this Laugones is...you would not be interested in that book...he's far worse..  ::sighs::  trust me...I know...

CSO_Singh says:
::Follows behind, one of the last to leave.::

XO_Jokeg says:
::stops::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: moves behind the CIV ::

Laugones says:
::Roars again, he turns around and flies away::

CTO_Hanover says:
::follows along behind the others keeping a watch::

CSO_Singh says:
::Turns around suddenly::

CIV_Seng says:
::Catches up with the first officer and FCO nods to both::

CSO_Singh says:
::Goes to the window to look out::  What was that?

XO_Jokeg says:
::nods to Seng:: Let's continue.

Loko says:
::moves along with the rest::

FCO_Doole says:
XO: suggest we wait till the others get here before continuing.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: trots along keeping the CIV in sight stops behind him::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Are you going to join us in the tunnels Ensign?

CSO_Singh says:
::A tingle of fear slides up her spine, but she sees nothing.::

XO_Jokeg says:
FCO: Go back, tell them so far the route is clear, Seng and I will continue.

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  Yes sir.  It is just... ::Looks back out the window::  there was something there.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The CSO Is fascinated by the eagle, subconsciously calls him back.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls her hood up over her head and disappears from view.::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Whatever was there should not distract us from our goal.  Let us go now.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The CMO begins to feel crawly things over her body.

Laugones says:
::Roars, and flies back quickly::

CSO_Singh says:
::Slowly brings her eyes back to the captain::  CO:  Ahhh... yes sir.  Moves towards him.

CIV_Seng says:
::holds spear to side:: XO: What is our next move?

FCO_Doole says:
::heads back to get the others::

XO_Jokeg says:
CIV: Continue down, to see there this will lead.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Screams and pulls off her  hood looking at what is crawling over her.::

CTO_Hanover says:
::stands inside the tunnel waiting for the others to join the group::

Laugones says:
~~~ CSO: Hear me Human.. ~~~

CSO_Singh says:
::At the entrance, closes her eyes for a moment.  From the top of her staff a gentle glow appears.::

CIV_Seng says:
XO: Then shall we?

Host CO_Merced says:
::draws the CSO past him letting her lead the way into the tunnels::

XO_Jokeg says:
::nods, continuing down::

Laugones says:
~~~ CSO: Come to me.. ~~~

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: Did you hear a scream?

XO_Jokeg says:
::hears a scream:: CIV: Hear that?

Loko says:
::walking in front of the CSO since she's the only familiar face in the crowd of these visitors::

CSO_Singh says:
CO:  No... but... ::Starts to turn back the way she came::  Someone is calling me....

Laugones says:
~~~ CSO: Laugones is near Human.. ~~~

Loko says:
::abruptly stops as he hears the CSO's comment::  CSO: What did you say...?

FCO_Doole says:
::arrives at the others. ALL:: Let's go it's clear up to where I left the XO, CMO, and CIV. ::senses the CMO's pain and hears her scream:: ALL: The CMO is in trouble, let's move.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: claws at her skin screaming about crawly things all over her.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::grabs the CSO's hand tightly:: CSO: Ensign! ::trying to keep her attention:: Stay with me 
here.  We must join the others.

CIV_Seng says:
XO: Yes. ::turns and runs back to the way we came::

XO_Jokeg says:
::heads back up quickly::

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks up, a dazed look in her eyes::  CO: We must?

FCO_Doole says:
::heads for the XO, CMO, and CIV::

Host CO_Merced says:
CSO: ::keeps her gaze:: Yes.  We must.  Let us go now.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Standing in the tunnels screaming her head off, trying to get the crawly things off her.::

Laugones says:
::Chants a spell, he separates the CSO spiritual being from her body to enter his realm::

CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head slowly::  CO:  Noooo... I must go back.  He is calling me... ::Tries to pull away 
and return out the door.::

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Above the CTO, part of the tunnel collapses on her, knocking her unconscious and burying her.

XO_Jokeg says:
::gets to the Doctor :: CMO: Tigs!! What is wrong!

Loko says:
::looks at the Paladin::  CO: I suggest we move her along quickly...I recognizes this...  she's being controlled by this sorcerer Laugones...  ::looks terrified of only mentioning his name::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: wailing:: XO: something is cr-rawling on me, take it away!!

CIV_Seng says:
::looks at the CMO, hears the rumble::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs:: CSO: I can't let you.  ::swings at her, knocking  her unconscious with a blow to her head::

FCO_Doole says:
::stops:: ALL: Continue to me the XO. I'll get the CTO.

XO_Jokeg says:
::looks over her::

FCO_Doole says:
::starts unburying the CTO::

CSO_Singh says:
::As she goes unconscious, the light of her staff goes out.::

XO_Jokeg says:
::shakes her:: CMO: There is nothing on you!

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs, wondering how he will report THIS to Starfleet, and lifts her over his shoulder:: Loko:  You coming?

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The crawling sensation the CMO has been feeling suddenly desists.

FCO_Doole says:
::tosses chunks of dirt aside as if it was mere dust::

Laugones says:
::Roars, he shakes his head and breaks the window. He flies down to the tunnels. Chanting, he floods the tunnels with lava::

Loko says:
CO: Doesn't look like I have a choice... Laugones is right on our tail...  ::quickly moves along as fast his little feet can carry him::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Shaking from head to foot as the feeling leaves her. XO: it seems to  have past.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::hears something coming down the tunnels toward them... fast, and decides now is not the time to look back:: Loko: RUN!!!

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Hot Lava starts to run down the tunnel.  Smoke permeates through.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: holds the XO's hand and moves forward.::

FCO_Doole says:
::finishes unburying the CTO and picks up her unconscious body, heads for the others::

Laugones says:
~~~ Party: Humans.. Meet your maker ~~~ ::Roars and flies faster after them::

CSO_Singh says:
::Feels her head bouncing hard against something, but is unable to wake up.  Sighs::

Host CO_Merced says:
::chants protection prayers as he moves forward, leaving wards of ever growing intensity behind him::

Loko says:
Self: Great....why did I ever get involved with these visitors...  me and my good deeds... no more after this one..  ::runs as fast as he can::

Laugones says:
~~~ CO: No more ~~~~ ::Chants a disable spell on the Captain's protection spells::

Laugones says:
~~~ Party: The XO is mine Humans... ~~~ ::Laughs evilly and vanishes::

FCO_Doole says:

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Snarling can be heard and the lead crouches over in attack positions.  Lunges itself at the CIV.

Loko says:
::blinks as he sees the CSO coming at him, he spreads his arms and catches her... falling back a little, then pulling all his strength together and moves on::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sees the 'eagle' vanish, and sighs relief... then he sees the glow of molten rock  behind further up the stairs::

Host CO_Merced says:
::with a yell drives his sword into the stair above him and closes his eyes, murmuring a hymn under his breath, power gathering about him like a blue field, turning the air crisp, then positively chilly as ice begins to form from the moisture on the walls::

Loko says:
::rushes behind the CO::  All: Can everyone please hurry...  my feet are getting real....  ::looks back at the lava::  warm...

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: crouches down behind a rock watching the battle. Notices foot holds in the walls.::

FCO_Doole says:
CO: There are footholds in this wall here. Suggest we climb up, and now.

Laugones says:
::Appears beside Loko, only he can see him. He smirks:: Loko: Boo

Host CO_Merced says:
::with a final shout, he thrust his arms toward the lava, sending the ball of frozen air at it, causing the molten rock to slow and finally stop as it turns cold::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sags drained::

CIV_Seng says:
::looks to the FCO:: FCO: I will carry her if you wish.

Laugones says:
::Sits on a rock beside the XO, he studies him:: XO: Do you fear me Human?

Host CO_Merced says:
::trying his best to follow them but is simply too drained of strength::

CSO_Singh says:
::Gasps::  Loko:  Good.  Could you please put me down?  Gently.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  With exception of the CO, CSO and Loko the rest have cleared the tunnel.  The FCO's not watching the ground, his left leg falls into a hole.  A loud crack is heard.

XO_Jokeg says:
::looks up:: Laugones: Is there a reason I should fear you?
CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: concealed below her cloak waiting for the others at the exit of the tunnels.::

Loko says:
::slows down and eventually stops, then gently puts the CSO back on her feet as they clear the tunnel::

Laugones says:
::Smiles as he steps closer, he groans and moves his hand up. He grins and shoves the hand inside the XO chest, grabbing his heart:: XO: Do you fear me now Human?

CSO_Singh says:
::Flops down, holding her head::  Loko:  Thank you... I think.  ::Tries to clear her streaming eyes due to the pain.::  Who had the hammer that hit me?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: uncloaks and moves over to check on the CSO.::

XO_Jokeg says:
::yells out:: Laugones: Nice trick...whoever you are...

Host CO_Merced says:
::weeps a silent prayer to his deity::

Laugones says:
XO: What is your biggest fear.. Human?

CIV_Seng says:
::watches the FCO fall:: Self: Great now what?

Loko says:
::looks at the CSO::  CSO: I think you have Laugones to thank for... he apparently had you under his spell..

XO_Jokeg says:
Laugones: I fear nothing...

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: touches the CSO, a ring of light surrounds her.::

CSO_Singh says:
Loko:  He hit me?  why?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
ALL : where is the CO?

Laugones says:
XO: You fear appearing weak.. You fear everything yet nothing Human.

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks up at the CMO with a sigh::  CMO:  Thank you.

Host CO_Merced says:
::out of the darkness a light shines down upon him gradually refreshing him, but he is still weak::

XO_Jokeg says:
::grumbles:: That makes sense...

CSO_Singh says:
CMO:  Sorry, I have no clue. ::Slowly stands.::

Laugones says:
XO: Now, I'll get you some company ::Smiles and bows, he vanishes::

XO_Jokeg says:
::breathes heavy::

Loko says:
::recalls the situation::  CSO: Uhm, no..  Laugones spelled you...  your companion the Paladin hit you unconscious..  ::looks troubled::

Laugones says:
::Appears in front of the CO as the CMO:: CO: Captain, are you okay?

Host CO_Merced says:
::breathing is less labored and he is able to lift his arms, but lifting himself up is still more than he can handle::

CSO_Singh says:
::Pauses, her eyes widening::  Loko:  My captain hit me?  ::Belief strong in her voice::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
::pulls her hood and rushes back in ::

Host CO_Merced says:
::looks up at the CMO:: CO: Doctor.  ::small smile::  I thought you had forgotten me.

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The CMO sees herself standing in front of the CO.

FCO_Doole says:
::hits the bottom of the hole, rolls into a tight ball to protect the CTO, and stops.::

Laugones says:
CO: We must hurr-ry.. Ther-re is not much time.. the quest must be accomplished..

Loko says:
::frowns::  CSO: Your Captain...?  ::tries to pronounce the name correctly and looks confused::  What is that..  "a Captain" ?

Host CO_Merced says:
::frowns slightly::  CMO: Doctor, are you feeling alright?

FCO_Doole says:
::stands up, looking straight up from where he fell::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
CAPTAIN: That is an imposter-r:

CSO_Singh says:
::Shakes her head slowly::  Loko:  Ummm...  my leader.  ::Looks around::  Where is everyone?
CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Uncloaks ::
Laugones says:
CO: The quest for your soul ::Transforms to a devil, he chokes the CO and vanishes with him::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Screams in frustration::

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  Just as Laugones disappears, the CMO grabs the cloak and is transported with them.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: pulls her cloak ::

Host CO_Merced says:
::coughs and struggles against the hold Laug has on him::

Loko says:
::glances around::  CSO: Good question... I only see one of your companions walking over there...  the rest is...gone.. it seems..

Laugones says:
::Appears in the open, near the XO. He throws the two bodies near the XO and casts mental jail on them::

CSO_Singh says:
Loko:  This is not good.  ::Looks at her staff and summons a warning spell, then walks over to Seng.::

XO_Jokeg says:
::sees half of the sword on the pedestal::

Host CO_Merced says:
::falls to the floor at the feet of his XO, still weak::

CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  Ummm... Sir?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: sits down pulling her hood off ::

FCO_Doole says:
::studies the hole for a second, gets a rope out of his pack, gets an arrow out of his quiver, ties the rope to the arrow, and fires the arrow straight up, hoping someone will be there to grab it, and tie the rope off to something::

Laugones says:
::Stands beside the sword, he smiles at the XO::

CIV_Seng says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Yes?

CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  Where is the captain and what are you looking at and...  ::reaches out and grabs the rope of an arrow passing by.::  What is this?

Laugones says:
CMO, CO: Do you fear me Humans?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:Hisses at Laugones:: I fear-r no one.

Host CO_Merced says:
::rolls over onto his back so that he can see Laug:: Laug:  Should we?

Laugones says:
CO, CMO: Do you fear each other?

XO_Jokeg says:
::listens::

CIV_Seng says:
CSO: Last I saw the Captain was in the cave. ::looks down:: Getting ready to get them two out.

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: scoffs at the wizard, spitting in his direction.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::eyes Laug:: Laug: I fail to see your point.

CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  Two?  Bends over and looks down into the shadowy hole::  Hmm... then you would like this?  ::Hands him the rope::

Laugones says:
::Smiles as the spit burns in flames before it reaches him:: CMO, CO: I'll riddle you. Answer correctly and the XO will set to free.

CIV_Seng says:
CSO: That would help I guess. ::takes the rope looks for a place to tie it off::

Host CO_Merced says:
::sighs, hating riddles:: Laug: If you must.

CSO_Singh says:
::Looks back to the cave wondering what is taking the others so long.::  CIV:  Do you need help or are you ok?

CIV_Seng says:
CSO: I should be fine. ::ties the rope off and throws in the pit::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: casts a spell of light ::

Laugones says:
CO: Good! I love riddles.. ::Moves closer:: A thing of beauty.. ::Pokes the Captain in the chest:: yet there is no beauty in it methods of defense.

CSO_Singh says:
CIV:  I am going back to look for the captain and doctor then.

CSO_Singh says:
Loko:  Coming?  Please?

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: moves toward the sword.::

CIV_Seng says:
CSO: Ok

Laugones says:
::Roars and throws the CMO away::

FCO_Doole says:
::gives the rope a tug, making sure it is secure, picks up the CTO and places her over shoulder, proceeds to climb out of the hole.::

Host CO_Merced says:
::winces at the poke in the chest::

Laugones says:
CMO: Do not doubt my power Human.

CSO_Singh says:
::Moves to the cave, reaching out with her sensitive hearing for anything.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: neatly flips back to her feet and charges the wizard.::

Laugones says:
CO: Answer, NOW!

Host CO_Merced says:
CMO: Doctor! HOLD!!!

Laugones says:
::Forms a shadow ball in his hand, he casts it on the CMO::

CSO_Singh says:
::Pauses outside the cave, straining her senses.  Hearing and seeing nothing, with a frown, enters the cave.::

Host SM_Arlene says:
ACTION:  The FCO begins to slip.

Laugones says:
CO: Answer!

CSO_Singh says:
::Biting her lip, calls up a shielding spell, mumbling::  Something I should have done long ago.  ::Makes sure the hobbit is covered as well.::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: flashes a sphere of protection, hoping it will stop the ball.::

Host CO_Merced says:
Laug: Provide a riddle and I will answer.

CIV_Seng says:
::feels wait on the rope and starts to pull::

CMO_Ravenprowler says:
:: Holds as the Captain ordered::

Laugones says:
CO: Dou take me for a fool?! I already riddled you!

FCO_Doole says:
