OOC: Ryu is still in his "dragon" form. His weapons merged into his body. Aphra also cast a protection spell, Prayer and Bless, which negate such a spell by boosting morale and negating fear.

Ryu: Heh! Dead? I don't think so!
Saying those words, Ryu is emmersed into another cloud of dust. This time, the cloud shrinks. It shrinks until it appears it could cover up nothing larger than a human, and, when it disperses, Ryu emerges looking different yet again. He still has his horn and wings, and his hands and feet look like claws. He, however, still appears void of any weapons and his sheild.
Ryu: You have underestimated me twice, a fatal flaw. Those...Nightmares are nothing compared to what I've fought. Do you have any Greater Daemons in your arsenal? No? Well then, be prepared to see your plan blow up in your face.
Fascia: *to himself* Lina has made some interesting allies... He seems to have full control of himself even in such a spell... Even Aphra's Prayer and Bless shouldn't be bolstering him this much...
Ryu: Now then... I shouldn't have to go all the way with this! Holy Word!
A clerical spell cast by Ryu is certainly a surpise to Gregorian, especially when Aphra casts another spell of holy energies, Word of Law. May follows up by preparing some of her strongest holy spells. Both Holy Word and Word of Law cause such a burst of holy energies that three of the Nightmares seem to be killed instantely and the rest take a large ammount of damage.
Gregorian: *falling to his knees as he also took more damage* What is this?! You are, at best, a mage/fighter!
Ryu: That is what I am. But sometimes, when I hold a clerical spell scroll and transform, I can absorb the spell. I have TYSOn to thank for many of them.
Ryu prepares another spell, while the others carefully back away, preparing themselves. Gregorian looks worried, for a change, as his seven remaining Nightmares don't seem to be able to approach the heros. He looks at May to see that she cast her spell! A spell that is repulsing the Nightmares!
Ryu: Hmm? How can they kill us if they can't even approach us?[/color]
