Returning what was lost

They had started their way down the path Orange said she came from. Acillatem nodded that she was correct, which was all the information they needed. The passage sloped downward slightly, and there were a few ruts in the floor. After and hour of walking the came across, cart rails?

"The hell is this?" Tem asked

"They are rails mutt, i knew you were dumb, but not this blatantly so" Shook snickered, he was still cradling Orange, who had gone to sleep some time before, saying she came strait. Tem began sniffing the ground around the shoddily built cart, along with claws and the wolf.

"So many new scents...I cant make up from down, but it smells like wet dog and leather"

"Then we keep going, the new sell may be those dogs she had been talking about" Cyto replied, checking his weapons. These dogs sounded like slavers to him.

Shook's eyes narrowed and his shoulders went up in anger. He wanted them dead, eviscerated, tortured in front of their families for doing this to Orange, taking her from her home, on one of their holidays!

"Speed up" he said, quickening his pace in wanton revenge. He would make sure she was asleep for this though, not to traumatize her even more.

Then everything was black, with a sound like that of a sail unfolding, and Shook and Orange had been engulfed by a darkmantle. A hideous squid-like creature 10 feet across at its arms with webbing between its tentacles. It had clung to the ceiling, to drop down on distracted or weak prey. That's all it took for it to bring its mouth into play directly on its preys head, which it tried, only to be stopped with a screech all together demonic and full of fury.

        Tem began howling, and his armor, began to screech with him, drawing upon the fury of the nine hell's it had been imbued with, to immobilize the beast with the most primal of fears...of being burned alive. Tem then enacted the magic he had been saving all day. His hands began to throw flames around his bow, and it began contorting the flames into hellish faces, and the arrow he had knocked,began to crack, and then exploded to be replaced with something entirely different. It looked like and arrow, but the tip had been replaced with hell fire in the shape of a dagger, 17 inches long. The shaft was long, black, and had runes of fire and anguish carved into it, and the feathers seemed to be made of smoke. A twisted grin began to spread across his face, which flickered in the elemental fire. He let fly, the arrow struck, and the beast screamed, then he finished his spell. Barely audible, he whispered a single word 'Asche' and the darkmantle violent became engulfed in flames hot enough to melt metal.

"Damn....I love that one" Cyto said, he rested against the wall when he saw Tem draw his bow, for he knew too well what was to come

The gnoll smirked "primal hell fire and fear, give physical form as an arrow, only harming those I wish to harm". He finished to see Shook get up from the pile of ashes, covered in soot, and he did not look happy. The cave was full of the sound of crackling fire and weeping. The power Tem used was not a quiet one, and it had startled Orange to the point of tears.

"Uh oh" the said as the drow approached
