"That isn't going to do much." Clyde whirled on Siegfried again. "Come on, we have to be out there!"

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
A gout of flame blasted into the gate, the fire spilling over the top but not enough to singe anyone.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Siegfried waited a brief second longer, then nodded. "Very well, very well." He turned to the group. "What do we have by way of skill?"
Alistair hesitated before giving her answer, "I'm a wizard. I can work magic... I've been told I'm strong in it."
"And you?" Siegfried turned on Sydney.
"I don't do magic." She blinked up at him. "But I'm faster, stronger, and have better senses than most humans."
Siegfried nodded and motioned to Kajaise. "And you."
She frowned at him. "I have no intention of fighting."

The scholar pulled a few scrolls out. "I might have something here that's useful."

Siegfried walked to him. "Let's see it."

"A scroll of Bind Monster, a scroll of Open Fissure, and a scroll of Disintegrate."

"Good, thank you." Siegfried motioned for Clyde and Brandice to come over and handed each of them a scroll. "Read."
Clyde glared at him before speed reading the paper.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
The scholar nodded, then jumped as something heavy slammed into the gate.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Siegfried thoroughly skimmed the scroll before setting it down and heading for the gate, catching Kajaise's arm as he went and dragging her along. "You're fighting."
The rest of the group fell in behind as Kajaise attempted to pull away. "I am not!"
Siegfried let out an impatient breath before taking both her shoulders and leaning down to be on a level with her. "You're powerful in some kind of magic, I know that. And if this creature is anything like the orcs I heard about earlier, we're going to need all the help we can get. I assume you want to get home? Then you'll have to help, because if you don't I'll drag you there and use you as bait." Though he said this seriously enough, he, of course, didn't mean a word of his last sentence. But with those words, he turned and began walking again, Kajaise firmly in tow.
[OYAN tsunami!]

With another crash, the creature's weighted tail smashed open the gate, smushing most of the guards with heavy pieces of wood.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Clyde traced one finger against his palm and an invisible barrier rose up around the gate. Should the monster attempt to cross the barrier, it will be met with intense pain, which will only grow worse the further into the city it goes.
Siegfried cupped his hands and blew into them in preparation of using his magic. He stood just inside Clyde's barrier and addressed Alistair. "I want a large hole. If you can make it in such a way that the creature falls into it, that much the better."
Alistair crouched and placed a hand on the ground. The earth shuddered, then a deep cavern appeared directly under the monster.

Massive wings unfurled from the creature's back, holding it aloft above the pit. It roared and launched fire down at the party.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Siegfried raised a shield over the group, deflecting the fire back at the creature. "Brandice, try that 'Bind Monster' scroll you read."
Brandice clapped her hands together and touched them to her forehead. She focused on the words she'd read and carefully directed the spell at the creature.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Massive, magical steel ropes bound the creature, and it fell into the pit.

"Excellent." Siegfried nudged Kajaise. "Fill it with water."
Kajaise glared at him a brief moment before sending water pouring into the pit from all sides.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
The water evaporated up in a massive cloud of steam. The monster roared.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Kajaise set her jaw and tried again, freezing the water as it emerged this time.

The boiling stopped. The hole filled with ice.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Kajaise breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't release the frozen water.
"Is it dead?" Clyde asked, eyeing the ice suspiciously.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
The earth about twenty feet inside the city wall erupted, the creature apparently having tunneled away from the pit and then upwards.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
[It erupted inside Clyde's protective field then, so it's in considerable pain, just fyi. -nod-]
"How... Darn it!" Clyde scowled and focused on keeping the field strong, hoping to drive it back underground and out of the city while Siegfried considered a new strategy.

The pain only makes it madder, and its tail destroys a building as its fire cooks the group.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Siegfried continues to deflect the flames back at the creature. "Clyde, take down the field."
Clyde did so without question.
"We need to see if we can draw it out... Brandice, do you think you could do that?"
"I can try." She took off for the monster, forming a sphere of water and electricity as she goes. She gets as close as she dares before hurling it at the creature's shoulder, only intending to get its attention rather than actually do major damage.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
It roars in pain, sweeping at her with a massive claw, his tail smashing more buildings.

Re: Just a Harmless Little Heist....
Siegfried does his best to protect the buildings, but can only keep a few of them from being smashed. Brandice avoids its claw and runs back a few paces, hoping it will follow.
