[21:28:38] <~Bynw> *to the south of the palace ruins is a large group of men (some 20 of them all grouped tightly togther*
[21:31:00] <~Bynw> *the seafort captain looks over to the Queen and Jack* "Looks like your hand is not played well. Court cards seem to be worthless in this game." *he drops the rank insigna and walks off towards the approaching trees*

[21:35:39] <~Bynw> *one of the men surronding Chadwick moves at the wrong time, or is it the right time, and is hit by Coch's shot. directly in the head*
[21:35:44] <+Charissa> "aye.  Aprehend him"
[21:35:56] <+Seth> ::A perfect illusion of Seth in his human form steps out from behind one of the pieces of rubble. Meanwhile the true Seth in his tiger form moves around to get as close to Chadwick as possible, using the rubble for cover::
[21:36:24] <+ExtraCast> leader  barks at Captain "Halt or you will be shot!"
[21:36:40] <+ExtraCast> Archers target the Captain!
[21:36:53] <+Seth> ::the illusion begins making the motions and muttering as if casting a protective spell on itself::
[21:37:51] <~Bynw> *the trees stop as they have closed enough of the distance, now blocking the way to the south. the remaining archers in the treees start firing down on the army once again*

[21:39:49] <~Bynw> *due to the shot from Coch, the group of men which contains Chadwick begins to move off. ignoring the golden fire which is obviously a trick since fire is not gold, and they retreat futher into the city*
[21:40:36] <+Seth> ::The illusion speaks again:: "Face me! You and I, one on one. Let's finish this!"
[21:40:41] * +Coch "Yells target the archers in the trees!"

[21:42:04] <+Charissa> ::
[21:42:14] <~Bynw> *the captain then removes the ring from his finger and tosses it to the ground beside him and his form begins to blur and shift ... taking up a much larger space before solidifying to a large adult black dragon*
[21:42:28] <+ExtraCast> leader barks "The rest of you fire at the archers in the trees!"
[21:42:49] * +ExtraCast remaining misiile contingent fires at archers in trees.
