[attr="class","abooti"]syren sighed. "it would take the better part of a couple hours to travel the distance you can walk in ten minutes. she explained cooly - and then they were off!

just as olivia had explained, there were pawns and knights at each entrance. syren whispered in her companion's ear, "if you want to fight, then let me know - i might be able to trap a handful of the pawns in a WHIRLPOOL and you can follow up with one your electric attacks."

We're busting our way in. Give me a second though! I crafted a decent strategy while we were on the way here."

With a good amount of caution, Fernando approaches with Olivia in tow, careful not to get close enough to trigger aggro. With only several feet keeping them from alerting the enemies, Fernando suddenly throws Olivia forward before making a mad dash in the opposite direction. While running, he turns his body to line up a ZAP CANNON at the closest KNIGHT.

Aggro is set and they start charging at the closest enemy. Thankfully, Fernando's strategy and superior intellect means that it's not him. In fact, it's the immobile shell fish monster. The perfect bunker to allow him to snipe freely.

"Good luck! I believe in you!"

Ah, if only kyle lopez was here.

[attr="class","abooti"]syren sighed. "f#@%." she sighed as the fool tossed her towards the pawns. they were more curious than anything, and jabbed her shell with the stub of their poleax. taking a deep breath... she unleashed a WHIRLPOOL upon those nearest.

olivia pm'd FERNANDO SILPH through her menu as he screen was overran with water and spinning chess pieces. "is this your plan?" she typed, annoyed.
