"You... don't need to worry about the ones following us. Just focus on the task at hand, they shouldn't bother us. As for the plan... I haven't got one" As he said this last part, one couldn't help ut get the feeling he looked a lot like the monkey. Maybe it was he ears which now seemed large, maybe it was the blank face smiling dumbly without a nose and eyes that were essentially white circles. The arm looping up and over his head only to come down and scratch his hair only added to the image. It also didn't help that the area behind him had temporarily changed to harsh monocrome pastel colors and their were three dots seeming to float in the air on said background...

Mortimer fully expected to be attacked by his students crying out BAKA at this point but he wouldn't try and avoid them. He figured they would need to get their frustrations out some way.

Still, the reason he had not made a plan was that they had no idea what the dragon could actually DO, other than emit poison. Nor did he know the structure of the cave system or the dragons lair. In this situation they would all need to "wing it".

Several minutes later the group ran into what looked like a pack of eight diseased wolves... apparently the mist had affected them as well, and they were ravenous and partially rabid. Circling around the visible members of the group, the first three struck at Darren, Lashing out at him and trying to drive him back into the waiting diseased jaws of the alpha.

Oh Hell Yea!!! he said at Mortimer's plan. Now that's a plan!!! he smiled before they were confronted by the wolfs.

Eww...that's unsightly he commented as he moved closer to Mortimer and Pyoh as they were attacked. It seemed however that the wolfs weren't going to let that happen as he was forced to the side trying to evade all the attacks from the three. Hmm...he said quickly summoning Albert to help defend him.

He was rather annoyed by then, not by the wolves, but rather, the wolf's condition. Something is wrong he thought as he saw the very feral but very look weaking wolves. Dragons are suppose to help keep balance in a region if they are the only ones. ...maybe I might be wrong he thought aloud as he shundo'd in between attacks sending out some counters from his daggers.

Hmph this is getting me in a bad mood he said looking at the animals with a concerned look. ...and this pastel look didn't help. He looked stole a glance at Mortimer with a look of change-it-back! before he faced the wolves again.

The remaining five wolves made their way to Mortimer and Taurou trying their occasionally nipping each other and pushed into an aggressive state by the aftereffects of the dragon's poison.

(/me attacks the mission!)

Najiko and Marie handled the wolves as best they could, Marie using her force field bracers and Najiko doing as best she could without ripping her protective suit...

Lyon waited for everyone to enter the cave before he made his move towards it. He stayed close to the entrance when he heard the wolves and the beginning of a fight. Again, he didn't want to reveal himself but at this range he would not be surprised if at least one of the group knew he was there. This did not concern Lyon though, he just wanted to get in and out without too much trouble. He glimpsed into the cave and noticed the group was a bit farther in. He slipped into the cave to a dark corner and continued his stealth mode.

Poor wolves... Taurou mumbled. I feel bad doing this. He drew his blade and said, Poen a dioddefaint: Gladius Fulgoris. His sword's blade was lengthened by a thin blade of black lightning. As one wolf pounced at him, he swung, cleaving it in half. He apologized under his breath as another attacked him. He sidestepped its claw, taking a small cut on his shoulder. The wolf's speed was greatly impeded by the dragon's poison. Taurou kicked it away, and it didn't bother to get back up again.

The other wolves snarled at Taurou, and he shook his head and sheathed his sword, kneeling down on the ground. He did not move. All he did was stare at the wolves, and they seemed to be staring back, pleading. After a few moments, they turned to Mortimer, and attacked.

The three other wolves moved to attack Mortimer. Incanting calmly as the wolves lunged at him, seeking his neck. "Enter the eternal, Exorior phasmatis ut habito meus animus , tribuo mihi macies umbra redimio jaqulatio". Extending out from his shadow three slender black ribbons emerged, each with a pointed tip, sent flying towards the heads of the three wolves in mid-air. Their speed impeded by mal-nutrition and the poison which pumped through their veins, causing their bodies to disintigrate from the inside out. Retracting the shadow ribbons, Mortimer let the wolves drop, seemingly dead where they had fallen. It seemed that the dragons presence really was destroying the area. If the wolves were sick, then it would take much longer for this place to heal then they had anticipated.

But that was for later. Once everyone had dealt with their wolves they still had to climb up the mountains path to the dragons cave.

The three stood at the mouth of the cave for a bit before recovering from it's majesty. Hmph that sure is something he said as he looked solemnly around the entrance. He looked at Pyoh and nodded. Alright Pyoh can take point in this one right? he asked as he started moving to cover the rear,I'll see what's been bothering your senses as of late, Pyoh he assured as he shundo'd his full distance and put his hands in his pockets before chanting his spell.

Untold Malice take form. Veiled murder The dark dragoon magic started to take effect as he was slowing being enveloped little by little from it. Tck, ugh so uncomfortable he thought as was rapidly now covering his whole body. He managed to send out a reassuring smile before the spell took full effect and he disappeared without a trace.

Lyon watched as they went ahead and followed them promptly. He wanted to get this done soundly but was unsure of how he would go unnoticed. More than likely he would be found out and he knew this. "Should I try and get past them..." Lyon thought but decided against it. The chance of getting past one was pretty good but all of them was almost impossible. Lyon turned around when he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around he saw another assassin after the same mission as him. He recognized him from when he left the meeting place but didn't expect that this was one of the guys. Lyon knew he had the upper hand but needed to get rid of this guy quickly before the others realize he was there. "This shouldn't take too long..." Lyon thought as he took to the shadows, watching this guy intently.

Can I still attack this missionz? D:
