*JadeHand finishes scribbling a name on his nametag and places it on his chest. "Malekith Ichandren". His clothing and body begins to shift until a man in robes, with slightly pointy ears stands in his place. He glances up at the Lava rider and steps forward waving his hands in a strange fashion as he begins chanting. Just as TheRealMe steps aside, Mel's hands stretch forward releasing a Cone of Cold. The Rider begins to freeze in place, stiffening into a statue. Steam pouring off of him fills the air. Mel steps over to a hitching post on the street and pulls the large beam from it's posts.*

"Um... what are you doing with that?" He's asked.

"Another spell. Item. It makes things easier to carry by turning them into small pieces of cloth."

*Mel casts the spell and the large beam shrinks into a small piece of cloth which he picks up. He reaches around to his back and pulls an arrow from his quiver.*

"Why do you need a large beam?"

"I don't. See, there's a drawback to this spell. Any impact causes the item to revert to it's normal form."
*He says as he wraps the cloth around the shaft of the arrow. He stands and fires the arrow at the statuted form of the lava rider. On impact the beam expands inside the frozen form causing it to burst apart. Chunks of frozen lava scatter into the street.*

That might not keep him down long. Those pieces melt, he might reform. What do we do about the unconscious lizard?

It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

**Jake7 jumps, startled at Cozen's sudden appearance. She glares at him menacingly**

Now, Cozen, don't be getting any ideas! Now is NOT the time for another one of your kidnappings...

**noticing that there was no immediate danger, she releases the force field and looks with interest at the unconscious dragon, then at Jadehand**

Hey, Jadehand, how about doing the same thing with our lizard friend here? I know *I'd* feel a might better if this lava dragon doesn't have the ability to come to...

Pssst! Jake7! Just so you know, there were THREE lava-dragons with lava-riders. We only took care of one set, I think!

Oh, hi, Cozen!

So we're not keeping the lava lizards? Good enough for me.

*JadeHand (as Mel)again waves his hands about and speaks a strange incantation before a Cone of Cold is released upon the unconscious Lava Dragon. It's burning red body sizzles and steams and hardens.*

"Sorry, no more "item"'s in memory, gonna have to break that one by hand. Anyone got an axe? And what happened to the others? I'll need to rest and rememorize before I can do that again."

"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness

A beam of light arcs down from the sky and focuses on the ground in front of Seryn and the other.

5 large metal cylinders appear in a twinkling of lights in the centre of the beam and atop of them is a card:

Dear All, please find attached five fire extinguishers from the deus ex machine company. They're excellent for tackling clockwork robots, lava beasts and, well, fires. Best of luck, Simon. P.S. Nobody get horribly burned, I hate taking care of burn victms. It's icky.

The light vanishes, leaving the extinguishers ready to be taken.

Seryn and the barmaids look with glowy eye's upon the shiny new toys Simon just beamed down.
It occurs to Seryn that the ye olde barmaids should be a little more surprised at thing just appearing like that.

"Ok, one each, i think there'll be a spare. TRM just turned blue, so I think that means its comoflage or something, so blue cloaks over heads, try to keep movements slow and controlled. Move far away from the building and keep watching the sky!"

They all nod, not looking at all nervous, and they move out.

Out side, the bubble is still up, passing close, SR spots her and grins, he tells her his theory and she grins back.
"get on to Simonwho - if your right, these should hopefully slow them down, but an EMP blast could stop them dead - its worth a shot"

She blows him a kiss just before the first dragon attcks again and watches as Jadehand - disguised as someone she doesn't know - manages to deal with it's rider.


For the moment the skies are clear, and she watches the dragon nervously. Jake7 Lowers the forcefield and at TRM's whispered warning, they wait nervously for the other two dragons to come back.

(ooc - ok, does that work? I just got confused as to what was happening when! sorry!)

OOC: only 5 people I know would recognize the name (and none of them come here), as it was one of the characters a friend played in a game. It just fit for the "mideval world" and the peramiters of "fictional character" I set for the tags. It's really unimportant. sorry for the distraction.

**Jake7 looks around, concerned.**

But, I don't see any...

**Suddently, another lava dragon and rider swoop into view. She calls the gang that wants to be in the shield closer to her once again and activates the shield**

Gorram lava dragons!

*Serenity wakes up suddenly.*

wha?

*She finds herself alone, on her bed, wearing..well, not much really. And she remembers what she was supposed to be doing.*

Oh, !

*And she gets up, throws a robe on, and goes searching for her husband.*
