ooc - thats alright - i thought i was failing to earn my nerd credentials again, ah well.
As the another dragon attacks without any word from anyone, the barmaids aim the extinguishes at its belly as it flies overhead.
the range isn't quite long enough, but they manages to alarm the dragon enough for it to abandon the riders carefully planned attack and intead hurl itself at the bright silver cannisters.
"ooooh... that wasn't a good idea maybe..."
Seryn looks over at Jadehands magician form and called through the shield "you have a longer range.. can you get rid of the rider?"
*hopeful smile*
"SR? any closer to getting that EMP down here?"

Snarky comes blistering back to the tavern closely pursued by a dragon.
"Holy chrome!" SR curses under his breath, "Snarky just hand off the Warheads to me and lead the dragon out through that fallow field over there." He yells.
Snarky drops the box of Emp warheads at SR's feet and runs on towards said field. SR grabs one out of the box, arms it and places it in the pouch of his sling. He spins up his right arm and launches the warhead at the dragon. The missile flies through the air and strikes the dragon on the left hind quarter. The is a very sudden unnoise and the flying magma beast disintegrates and a shower of dspersed cinders falls to the ground starting many small fires.
SR stands aghast for a moment and then he realises he has been holding his breath for the better part of a minute. He exhales and his shoulders slump. "That was damn lucky."

As the dragon circles for its next attack, Sir Kei steps up next to Seryn, "T'was a valiant effort fair maiden. You and your friends must be great warriors in your land."
He takes his eyes off the dragon long enough to size up the canisters. “What manner of weapon is that?”
Seryn gaps at Sir Kei’s calm demeanor. “They are fire extinguishers. You use them to put out fires.”
“How does it accomplish that feat, as it does not contain water?” Sir Kei asks puzzled.
“You see, they hold compressed CO2 gases that rob the fire of oxy….” Seryn pauses when she notices Sir Kei was getting none of what she said. “It’s very cold.”
“Might I borrow one?”
Seryn just nods, handing Sir Kei her extinguisher and quickly showing him how use it.
“My thanks.” Sir Kei says bowing grandly before running out into the centre of the street.
He hooks the extinguisher on his belt and starts yelling and waving his arms to get the dragons attention. The dragon screeches in rage and dives at Sir Kei.
Seryn and Jake7 look on in alarm. “Sir Kei! Use the extinguisher!!”
Either he doesn’t hear them or chooses to ignore them as he just stands still, neither raising his shield no his sword.
Elsewhere, Arinda cackled with glee. “A fitting end to that great oaf Kei. I must remember to commend Adelle for her efforts. Alatariel could learn a thing or two from Adelle.
As the dragon closes on Sir Kei it opens it mouth to belch forth flames when Sir Kei does the unexpected. He dives straight for the gapping dragon’s maw.
The dragon draws back its head in surprise, Kei’s legs protruding from its mouth, when it drops heavily to the ground. Its legs had turned to stone as the lava cooled. The effect spreads quickly throughout its body. The dragon is able to take another shuddering step before the lava is gone entirely and al that remains is essentially a dragon statue with Sir Kei’s unmoving legs still protruding from its mouth.
The rider jumps off in panic and is surrounded by the rest of the extinguisher wielding group led by Seryn.

With her dragons defeated Adelle trully understood the situation at hand. These people used weapons not of mortal nor immortal, They were not of this world. Where they were from was a great question indeed, but that did not bother her. She started off down a path into the mountain leading into an underground tunnel dug by a river of lava. The path snaked beneath the ground for many miles before a set of obsidian steps rose from the side. Adelle walked up these leading into the dungeons of Adrians Castle.
The route wasnt guarded because no mortal would have made it through the fire tunnel. Halfway up the stairs Adelle turned off into a small alcove and walked down a path roughly the dimensions of a person. It wasnt lit and She was forced to create a torch of fire from her staff to lead the way down. The path was very steep and twisted and turned often with side branches and dead ends designed to confuse and abandon any soul who wandered in without knowing the path. Eventually she reached a Door of engraved diamond flush against the rock. Embossed in a dead tounge words were written in a black material within the diamond door.
When the travellers curse our hallowed ground,
As the immortal begin to fracture and split,
The Harbinger can then be awakened,
To purge our rightful land
Adelle read the words in her head that the First had told her so long ago and knew the time was right. She turned back for Adriannas chamber up the labrynth slope.
We must stand together and cleanse the land once and for all.

There is a cracking noise as the dragon’s heads crumbles to pieces and Sir Kei drops to the ground.
He lies still for a moment and then struggles to his feet grumbling "Dragons is sooo stupid..."
Shaking his head and brushing off some of the rubble, he walks up to Seryn and hands her the blackened canister. "My thanks to you m'lady. Now I must beg your leave. I am in need of rest."
Turning Sir Kei takes a step and falls on his face. A great rumbling snore issues from his helmet.
Again, elsewhere;
Arinda screeches in frustration and grabs the offending eye out of the air, squishing it in her boney hand. "How does he keep doing it?!?" She screams at the ceiling. “Sir Wil, Sir Devan, and the others, I can understand, but that...that... IDIOT?? How and why Sir Devan let Kei into the order is beyond my ken. And these newcomers...”
Composing herself, she thinks for a moment. “Adelle!! Alatariel!! Ouroborous!! To me!!”

OOC: Are we expected to save the entire world here, because that's really not my cup of ouzo. I'll be nice and play along regardless, but just want it known it wasn't my idea.

Hey man... I'm just following the script.
Lets see... ummm... see page 9
*flip..flip..* Ah here it is... nope, that's not it. Footnote to page 23.
This may take a while...
blah blah blah...he said... she said... a little kissing, some violence... insert snappy one-liner... a little more violence... a chase scene in a hall of doors... "I would've succeeded too if it weren't for those pesky kids and their dog"...
Is this even the right script?? Hello? Ok cut. Where's the director? Get my agent on the phone!
*Storms off the set*

Seryn stands, hands on hips, looking down at the singed and snoring form of Sir Kei...
"...Frickin' showoff."

*JadeHand looks around at the desturction and breathes a sigh of relief*
"Anyone hurt? Looks like the pub is safe for now."
*Quietly ponders the situation to himself wondering what should be done next.
Well, the pub is safe, we can go back to drinking. 'Course the people who sent those things might just send more, so then we'd have to fight again. We could hunt the people that sent them and make sure they don't send anymore, then we could drink in peace. We could join the Knights and help defeat the immortals... then again, "Piss off an immortal, you get an enemy for a reaaally long time." We could join the immortals and take out the Knights... sure the immortals aren't very nice, but maybe they'd reward us with some giant fire-breathing chickens... which I think is why we came here..... 'Course we might get those if we help the knights too.....*
"Well, If everyone is okay I think we might need to regroup.... after we finish breakfast. Can't go takin' ov.... Ummm... savin' the world on an empty stomach."
*
"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
Make sense of it again."
Goodbye to all that. III-The Opium Den (Brave)-Marillion

OOC: Saving the pub I can handle. But as a pirate think it best we sieze the pub and extort from it all it will give and then move on to find more pubs to ransack loot and plunder. ARRR!
Oh look rum! slurp! snore...
