Erhart just shook his head and drew an arrow to nock into the bow to take aim and try and pierce the nearest queen with an arrow before it managed to escape


"This is out of hand."

"Oh shit, what?"

"I gave them the ability to learn minor skills, and one of them was watching when I built the first queen......."

"Take them down before they escape!"

Erhart shifted at a running pace to gain a better vantage and nock another arrow to let fly at the fleeing replicators

Fearghal concentrated, trying to draw on the power of the Mythallar to fuel the magic.....time to test the magic he had developed with Astinius.....

[Destroy, Quickened...over and over on Queens.]

In a hail of distructive fire, everyqueen that was trying to fly away explodes in a fireball. Although most of the normal ones manage to escape.

--

As the queen that had allready fled hides in the sewers, a member of the town guard is shocked to see a large army of giant bugs entering the drains, each of the carrying some rock, or a chain, or in one case bits of a cart, that then seems to have stolen as they walked by.

"Bugs, huge dragons.." Malkamar sighed. "And this is just the first day. Come on, folks, let's get to work. We've got to prepare for our inevitable welcoming commitee." The Netherese tried to get his friends to focus. "...And Torma, would you mind becoming a little more, you know, human sized? I think you'd smash most of the doorframes."

"It's insulting to suggest that a chosen of Mystra would alter these objects."

"Yeah.....and I WHAT THE HELL!?"

Jax stares as a few thousand replicators flee.

Many of them don't flee far. Tormantineth learned a couple new tricks with her growth in size. She breathes out at a grouped mass of Scouts and Queens... But instead of a straight line, it spun out of her mouth like a whirlpooling cone of electrical death, catching far more than a straight line ever could.

Torma eyes Malkamar wryly. Are you going to buy me clothing first? She answered. Yes, she's grown up, and doesn't want to be standing around naked. Unless you want a pet....

"At least you're thinking of these things first..." Malkamar shrugs. "I'll be back in a bit, then. Please don't destroy any of the tower, getting used to this new size?" The Shadovar heads for the door. "We're going to have enough work protecting this place.."

Jax runs after Malkamar.
"I'm going with you if your headed to the city, I started the bug problem, I'll end it."

Torma curled up in the courtyard, snorting at Malkamar's admonishment I'm not a child anymore, Malkamar.

I'm not a child anymore, Malkamar.

"One magic spell does not wisdom make. Lets get going Malk."

*starts walking towards the city*

Erhart shifted to stand nearly Torma, he was still a bit awed by the growth spurt but had mostly recovered his wits. He shook his head

"Give them time to get used to the idea....it was only a few marks previous that you were a child."

"Underestimating any kind of dragon is a fatal mistake. You, go find your damn bugs." Edward shakes his head. "I have actual business to conduct. I don't want to see those damn things. I have to worry about making peace with Halruaa and Algarond, nevermind what other nations will do. And I have to get a dress for a dragon that's big enough to swallow me whole."

Torma's head turns to Erhart, winking at him I know that... it's amusing to see you all struggling to accept me as I will be from now on. Her head lifts slightly, as if following Jax's footsteps inside the tower. Still, Jax's little bugs are dangerous... I think he has created something monsterous.

"I could use your help, but fine."

"If your little things have become such a threat that you require me to blow them up, I'm throwing you to them." Malkamar snapped. "Find a solution. I'm busy." He stalks off down another street.

"Eh, sudden maturation, no problem, but where am I supposed to find another intelligent mid-air sparring partner anywhere close to my size who flys naturally?" Secquon sighs in frustration, "Those things aren't any real threat now, even in large numbers, but giving them the ability to improve themselves was a very bad idea."

"You could grow to be the size of...oh...a small continent, It wouldn't much matter to me anyway." He nodded slightly "Those bugs...Ugh..Whatever possessed him in the first place is beyond us....Can you see where they went? he may need help"

The city lays within chaos. The replicators swarm everywhere, dragging away anything of value. Guards rush about, trying vainly to get rid of them. The population tries it's best to stop them as well, but the replicators merely cut off their hands and grab whatever they're after. Stone building have their bases blasted and eaten out, and long lines of replicators pass stone back and forth.

Malkamar, tapping into his strange link with the Mythallar, responded very bluntly to the attack. A relatively weak spell, developed to mildly rebuke Golems, was channeled across the link, and propagated out through the city.

(Disrupt Construct, 0-level spell, 1d4 damage per caster level. Effective caster level is 11, Maximized by the Mythallar. 44 damage to every Replicator in ten miles.)

Across the city, all the replicators drop to the ground, totally unmoving as the magical energies shut off their source of locamotion.

I run and start regnerating lost hands and such.

Summon Monster IX(5 Avorals, to use their lay on hands ability on as many victims as possible)

Secquon, I can still spar with you, Torma childed. I can shapeshift to something smaller. Or... eying Erhart playfully We could try for Aerial Jousting...... Percival and ... Torma trails off, hearing the screams from the town.

Stupid Bugs........ they're attacking the town! Torma heaved to her feet, leaping into the air to offer what aid she could... deliberately muting her Fear Aura so not to scare the townsfolk even more.
