Deniek sat at the alter, quietly praying to the gods and meditating on his spells. The alter sat at the front of the room in front of a dozen or so pews. in the pews sat multiple creatures cat, fox, and human alike.
One half cat sat in the front row with tears running down her cheeks. She was trembling from head to toe as if she was cold, but her large cloak must have kept her warm. On this bleak night Deniek felt sorry for the girl, she must have been caught in the rain and scared when the thunder racked the building.
"hello little girl, whats your name" Deniek asked kindly to the girl, a voice he didn't use very often. The girl said nothing, all she did was sit and stare at her hands. A wave of annoyance swept though denieks face before being smothered by his better knowledge. "here, let me show you something" Deniek reached into one of his outer pockets and pulled out a quill, he whispered a word to the quill and the quill erupted in a blue flame. The flame licked denieks face but it didn't hurt him.
The girl stared at the fire with wide eyes, here tears stopped but the girl started to tremble more than before. "what are you doing!" the hoarse whisper came from the girls lips, then louder "What are you doing!?". Deniek quickly extinguished the fire and stuffed the quill back in his pocket. the girl stood up, shaking vigorously "they will come! Magic attracts them! They will come and attack us all!" the girl was obviously delusional, Deniek tried to quiet her but she just became more and more fearful.
At that moment a violent quake shook the building. "what was that?" Deniek headed for the front of the building, an army of shadowy, lizard-like creatures stood at the foot of the building. A large beats took a large hammer and beat the ground, sending another massive quake wracking the building. "Your gods have died, and your foul magic currupts our air" the leader lizard with the hammer said, "we will give you till morning"

Pyros was heading for the temple, he had received information that an army was going to attack the temple around the current time. Pyros would often sit in Bars, Pubs and Inns in order to gain information on what he would do next in his life and where to venture in order to receive a good training. Just yesterday Pyros had heard a group talking of the raid on the temple and here he was heading for the temple.
He walked over a hill and saw a huge army of lizard creatures, the army was more enormous than he had anticipated, but Pyros was certain there would be others ready to fight with him inside the temple and he was certain that the army would fall.
As Pyros drew closer the army seemed to cover the brownish dirt track that led to the temple with their black scales. The army seemed to have inadequate weaponry and army but they did make up for it in sheer power and amount.
They were getting too close to the temple for comfort, it was time for some action. Pyros searched and saw a row of trees were leading towards the temple along the side of the track which was brown, Pyros jumped into the trees and jumped from one to the other until he was at the last in the track, where he jumped down landing on one of the lizard creatures forcing it to the ground, Pyros then pulled its helmet off and punched it in the back of the head to finish it off.
Pyros' actions stopped the army to watch what happened, Pyros then ran towards the girl and man who were standing at the entrance to the temple and stood infront of them in a defensive stance. "Hi, any chance there are more people inside the temple that have the capability to fight and help me with this?" Pyros asked hoping he could atleast build a party to fight with him.

Niera saw Pyro's and gasped. She knew him, and man she didn't like the lizard things outside. So she grabbed his hand and pulled Pyro in and slammed the door shut. "ARe you crazy??? Those Lizards are HUGE WE COULD HAVE LOST YOU OUT THERE AND THEN WHO WOULD GO ON ....... NEVER MIND WE JUST NEEED YOU MORE ALIVE THEN DEAD" and without even waiting for a reply she turned to the door and sent a magical pulse which sealed it shut, going through the building hse was then able to renforce all of the windows and walls with a shield of magic. She then turned to the little girl that looked like she would pass out and the mage who watched her with wonder. "Who are you two?"

Stunned by what had just happened Deniek charged inside and pulled the girl with him. "what do you know of these creatures?" Deniek quizzed the girl, hoping that she knew a weakness of them. the girl replied, "they are a brutal race that come from the far north" the girl shivered in memory but went on, "they attack in numbers and have no pity or fear. They do not weap for their dead, they think it is honorable to die in a crusade. They hate magic most of all, they are not weak to it but they are not capable of it. Because of this they hate it."
Deniek stared at the girl in awe she couldn't have been more than a teenager but she was as wise as some of the elders. "how did you find out all of this?!" Deniek asked exasperatedly. the girl shivered again in a dark memory but said no more. it seems like that is all the help that they will get.
Deniek stared around the vast shrine, many of the people in the building carried knives or swords but that was for their own protection against thiefs nothing to defend from a vast army. Deniek started appointing jobs to people, to a fox "You, run as fast as you can out the back get message to the elders of any of the kingdoms tell them that a battle is taking place at the temple". To another "search the building look for anything that can be used in this battle" others he appointed to setting up a barricade on the front door. There best bet would be to attack from afar from Windows so that they wouldn't have to get into face to face combat.
At that moment eight of the lizard things jumped into a window on the second floor, it was empty up there and they slowly started to creep down the halls to find the stairs and ambush their victums...

Niera was in thought as she helped on of the men move a bench over to the door. "The Lizards promised how many days of no attack?" she asked Deniek. He looked at her and said "Till morning". At that moment Niera's bodt froze up. And a memory flashed back a horrible memory
It was midnight in the desert and the tempatures had dropped to freezing. Niera waited in her tent for the captian to arrive and to announce when they moved to attack the lizards. They had planned on using the element of surprise to attack the lizards which had been known as the Draco, a major weakness had been discovered but she didn't know it yet. Something sturred at her tent and she sat up waiting for the captain to enter. But then she reliazed that there were two people at the door. She quitely crawled over and heard the voices. "Did you kill it?" Yes, we move to the guards next" "Stupid humans" "Yes" "What about the annoying mage girl?" "Yes" "Yes, i kill her" "Yes" "Nort has the Captian" "Yes" "I have the Princess" "Yes"
Niera would have listened longer but she had backed up and had grabbed her silver dagger. She was digging a hole into the sand but kept her eye on the door of her tent as she heard the two Draco talking their plan over. She looked at the hole she had dug and decided to try it. She fit right through and came out on the other side and had to quickly dodge back as more of the Draco moved around the camp. They were all planning a surprise raid and they had broken their truce till morning. These creatures had no honor and they lied through their teeth. Niera then moved around the camp and almost came into contact so many times with the enemy. She was about to run for the warning bell when a screech erupted and a flurry of movenment erupted as the Draco knocked down the tents and attacked the victims inside. Niera heard a shout from her tent screaming "WHERE IS SHE?" Without even waiting Niera ran into the desert at full speed never looking back. Never looking back.
Suddenly coming back to the present she then noticed her fatal flaw. "How many floors does this Place have?" and before Deniek could reply and burst of the doors at the other end of the hall made it pretty clear that some of the Draco had broken in and were attacking the unprepared people at the end of the hall. "Blasts I forgot to surround the top floor with magic, and now we have barrackated ourselves in" she said as she pointed to the door and showed the massive wall of unmovable furniture. Niera then turned to face the oncoming enemy. She heard Deniek beside her scream "CHARGE"!!!!!

OOC: omg, you must have read the dragon lance cronicles or somethin because that is where i got these lizard things from, the draconians.....
BIC: "CHARGE" The line burst from Denieks mouth as he ran forward conjuring two, fist sized fireballs from his palms. The balls raced forward in a deadly arc, hitting the ground not inches infront of the dracos feet. But the fire wasn't ment to hit the lizards, instead the moment that the balls hit the ground they splashed as if they were water, sending their burning embers into the dracos eyes.
The move was hardly deadly, if it even had a large effect Deniek would never know because all the embers did was stun the target for a few moments while help arived. The drive of the men and women that attacked these monsters was unbelievable, they had no battle training but with the adrenaline they fought like well trained warriors. Leaping over the carnage Deniek attacked with his wand, a short wooden stake that would send magical bolts on comand. With one draco down the crowd moved to kill the rest.

Pyros watched as many different things went on around him, he wasn't sure what to do, when the screams came he turned around. When "Charge" was shouted he knew it was time for action.
Pyros ran towards the monsters and came with a punch to one in the head, he struck it and then came with a spinning back kick to the chest sending it against a wall knocking it out.
He turned around and saw one coming with a strike to Pyros, it struck him in the chest, but Pyros took the blow and grabbed the hand bringing his other arm out and forcing it in to break the arm, which was successful. Pyros then struck his palm into the creature's hard scaly stomach sending it away into another lizard.
Suddenly a sword came towards Pyros, who dodged to the side and struck with a shudo to the neck of the creature forcing it to drop the sword which Pyros grabbed as it dropped and spun it around thrusting it into the creatures neck killing it. The blood spilled all over Pyros' arms and legs, but didn't get onto his waist or above. Pyros released the creature.
Something bashed into Pyros from behind and dragged him against a wall crushing him between the wall and the shields they were using to crush him. Pyros forced him self back and when he was far enough from the wall jumped up and bounced from the wall over behind the creatures and he dropped down coming with a sweep with his feet to trip them. Pyros then kicked one to the head knocking him out and then trampled the other's neck killing it.
Pyros turned around noticing no more of the creatures were coming for him. 'These creatures aren't so tough, aslong as this is all they throw at us, this should be easy enough' Pyros thought as he prepared for more of the lizards to attack.
