Inrii flipped over the tail easily. as another blast of frost aimed at them. she threw another fireball at it.
"what you wanna bet?" she laughed and hollered back, "gold, something more [i:3q415q7k]fun[/i:3q415q7k]?"
he roared, tho it did some damage, a ear piercing scream.
then the dragon readied himself to cast a powerful spell as the ranger aimed.
she knew she might would have to put up an antimagic field if they could not bring him down soon.

He quickly pulled the string back and shot the arrow right for the eye socket. By the time it left the bow, he was already moving and it was screaming for it's target. Notching another arrow he moved quickly aiming for the chest cavity and took aim and released another one. The whole time he was dodging. " I swear, if you were alive, I'd be carving my sword into your heart right now."

the dragon roared in protest as sword sliced, fireball exploded and arrow found it's mark. but it didnt disrupt the spell from the dragon, (energy drain). everyone began to feel a bit weaker as it hit hard.
His hand swipped at Veraka and tail tried to knock Zek off his feet. at the drowess he attempted another spell, crushing hand.

Veraka made it nearly to the dracolich when the overgrown bone-pile sent it's massive tail careening toward all of them; letting his feet slide out in front of him, Veraka skidded under the attack, bumping into a tail-bone with his helmet.
"I just said that HE'S MY ARCH-ENEMY!" he shouted back at Zek right as the ear-shattering blast emanated from the scaly-bones. Veraka was able to get off a couple of good attacks attack of his own before old big, dead, and bone-meal got off a drain energy spell.

Within a split-second, all of them began to feel it's effects, Veraka non-the-less. He felt weary, drowsy, and sick. After that, a bony hand, well claw, came in for a powered swipe. Veraka tried jumping back, but was caught in the full force of the blow. The storm warrior was lifted off the ground and sent sailing into a rock-hard with an audible 'CRACK'.
Veraka collapsed, his blurring vision seeing a talon coming in to finish the job. "Not like this," he mumbled to himself, feeling that certain rage come up from the depths; "Not NOOOWWW!!" he roared as the berserker took control of his body, and lifted him off the ground with astonishing speed, despite the energy absorbing spell in effect.
Veraka then chanted and called forth an Arc of Lighting and Chain lighting, absorbing both spells into Marla Vharc. Then, executing a whirlwind attack, launched the charged electricity from his sword. The lighting attack surged forth from Marala Vharc in a giant whip-like formation, and struck the dracolich, effectively paralyzing the bone-bag for a good second.

In the moment he felt the tiredness catch in he muttered darkly in draconic a curse to the dragon as he took aim again slowly moving back. Notching two arrows tightly together he aimed once more before catching sight on something. Something strange caught his sight on a high ledge he knew what it was... of course.. liches.. foolish creatures. Muttering a bit of a spell the two arrows ignited focusing on the small object in the shadows that he only caught a glimmer of in the midst of the magic illuminating things. Closing his eyes he took the breath and pulled the string back all the ways the dragon horn creaking as he opened his eyes and focused on one urn. Releasing the arrows finally he watched the arrows scream to their target. Gods work..

Inrii felt the crushing force as it tightened it's grip, she had been weakened. had not her magical shields been up, it would have been worse.
the dragon had already thrown Veraka and it was after Zek.

the dragon roared again and aimed it's breath at the berserker. another sword came in and the dragon opened a gate and vanished.
then a few heartbeats later reappeared behind them and cast time stop.
but not before an arrow hit its mark, doing some damage. sparks hit as the arrow hit a magical barrier. it would need to warn down (hit till gone basically).
with time stopped, he knew he had to remove them soon. the barrier wouldnt last forever. another swip flung their stilled bodies. the spell ended before he could do more...

((you hit the phalatery? i didnt think they kept them around. well whites are the stupidist of the dragons actually.))

Veraka, with the berserker's rage and adrenaline coursing through his veins, leaped out of the dracolich's breath attack, barely grazing against its attack. He got a whiff of stench; "cursing at the smell, he said, "hey bone-head! You ever think about trying those revitalizing breath herbs?" He saw the arrows, that the ranger had launched, hit their mark.
Veraka realized that that was the key to bringing the walking bone pile down; drawing one of his tantos from it's sheath, the aasimar charged it up with a lighting strike, flipped it around in his armored glove and hurled it with all his might. The knife sailed straight and true.

Watching the results and the just as the spell ended he saw the tail coming in towards him. Dropping down almost bending backwards he muttered darkly before taking aim again muttering a spell as the arrow sparked with energy before sending it soaring through the air at the urn again" I'll take your soul with me if I have too.." he muttered. After the shot he'd begin climbing up to his feet and started the work on trying to get to the wall where the ledge was and of course find a means to get up there and quickly.

((did u figure out what u wanted to do? if we 'kill' it, it just goes back to the container till it regenerated, right?))

Inrii slowed her momentum before she collided into the cavern they were in. she sent another fireball blast at the undead white. he was hurting, but he still had some fight in him.
the dragon turned it attention on the ranger now. and attempted another breath blast of ice. then he attempted a dominate spell.
with the dragon's focus on Zek, he managed to still pay attention, the dagger hitting him in ______ (where did u aim?). the dragon laughed at their attempts. a booming voice in their minds teasing them.
but he stumbled a bit. almost beaten.

(( if you "defeat" the lich now it'll reform after a time, when I don't know, however if you destroy it's "soul" container it's good as dead. Besides I want the loot now without the dragon coming back and saying MINE. ))

Moving closer he nocked another two arrows and drew the string back further. The arrows ignited again and he knew enough to add some concussive force with the flame arrows. a bit of explosive damage should finish the urn off if not knock it off of the ledge and let it shatter. With the string all the ways pulled back so the heads touched the bow he took the final aim and let loose. One arrow soared a little higher than the other but both knew their destination.

Veraka looked up to see what Zek was doing as he had to slide under another tail-attack from the dracolich. He then looked to what the ranger was aiming at with his bow; a urn of sorts, was crested near the edge of a sort-of ridge.
The storm warrior noticed one thing however; the dracolich had caught on to Zek's plans. Veraka reached into a belt pouch of his and produced one of the explosives that he'd 'bought' from the shopkeeper.
"Hey bonehead!" he hollered as he lobbed the spherical shaped container at the dracolich right as Zek's arrows hit their targets dead on. The resulting explosion was deafening and very bright, as it lit up the entire area. Veraka yelled in excitement as he saw the explosive score a direct hit on the bone-pile.

th blast tossed the drowess like a ragdoll into the side of the cavern. the spells absorved much of the impact, but she hit with a force to knock the wind out for a second. what was worse was the light and deafening sound. she had lived on the surface all her life, but the flash drew a soft cry of pain. and her ears rang ((as should yall...just saying

)
the dracolich began to crumble into a fiery heap, but not before a spell escaped and the skull transformed into a monster all it's own. the skull was sprewing more ice as the arrow hit the urn with a colorful sprew of sparks then a glowing light. the second arrow hit the now unprotected urn...((next person gets to discribe it.))

Seeing the results when his ears stopped ringing enough to not drive him to killing someone just to sate the rage from it. Seeing the skull he muttered in draconic" If.. it didn't get anyworse.. it just did." Seeing the sparks he grinned as the arrow pierces the urn cracking it heavily from the impact. He was scurrying up the wall as fast as he could. When he reached the urn he just grabbed what was left of it and looked to the skull as he grabbed the urn and climbed atop of the ledge and kicked the urn down to it's side before slamming his boot down onto it. When it shattered he moved quickly out of the way basically throwing any treasures off of the ledge and he took the time to drop off the ledge plunging his daggers in to slow the descent some before jumping off and rolling to safety." I do not want to fight that again anytime soon."

Seeing Zek pull some pretty interesting shenanigans, Veraka had to comment to him; "Zek, did you learn how to shoot?!" The storm warrior walked over to the ranger and nodded his agreement; "and on the off-chance we do, remind me to chuck another bomb at that," he pointed, indicating the now demolished urn; "would've saved a whole lot of trouble."

Her ears still ringing and her eyes readjusting to the cavern, Inrii had to agree. she made her way twords the pile of stuff knocked down.
"good thing he hadnt made a contingiency spell on it, at least I hope he didnt. or we are about to go meet someone in the fuge (or whatever the plane is called)."
Zarstra came out, not too happy about the blast.
