The minotaur drives his axe down upon the mercykiller's armor, tearing through it like tinfoil. Its axe cleaves into the man's flesh, almost severing his arm and causing him to emit a loud scream of pain as he crumples to the ground and stops moving under the minotaur's weight. The captain looses his arrow expertly, just barely missing the minotaur's ear, but the arrow was fired with enough force as to sail out of the arena itself. The other mercykiller whom the minotaur had knocked down first gets up to his feet and grasps his axe, shocked at the grisly sight before him.

Ocean cringes at the sound of the axe sinking into the mercykiller, severing bones. The sound of his screams echoing in her ears.
Yet she continues to watch, and cheers as the minotaur narrowly misses being hit by an arrow. She watching at the arrow flies completely out of the arena.

Darkwalker watches the minotaur's strike and measures the destructive forces behind his swing) "Hmmm...good shot.....lille dangerous with it being two on three.....well, two on two now."

Now, now said the dark knight, The mercykillers are here for our minotaur friend. Reinforcements merit the same on both sides
As he speaks, a young man and a woman step through the portal. The man carries a long, black quarterstaff while the woman has a bandolier studded with darts, and a long dagger at her side. Both wear grey robes trimmed with red and emblazoned with the emblem of the mercykillers. The man sees Darkwalker and points him out. He reaches into a fold of his robe and pulls out a few indiscernible materials, chanting lowly. The woman holds a dart in one hand and a dagger in the other and interposes herself between Darkwalker and the other man, ready to use either to protect the caster.
Well then, my lady says Eldritch sincerelyHow do you find the spectacle? Is there anything I can do to make it more appealing?

(Standing up, Darkwalker sighs and slids his claok off of his shoulders, then leaps down to the arena floor since he was involved, whether by choice or not. Straightening, he looks at the newcomers and pulls a few shuriken off his belt and warily circles the duo, trying to place the spell before it is cast so he can avoid it.) [glow=navy,2,300]"Thanks......I was trying to relax.....but this will do for now."[/glow]

Raekk realises he'll need a strong spell to defeat Red death warriors. Got it! What do those goose-stepping fiends like most! He prepars to cast chaos. 'Anarchus, domius...' he chants, then feels a familiar tingle run through his arms, 'incantus mirius...dammit!'
A wild surge!
(shall I leave the effect up to the dm?)

The wild surge streaks forward, churning with dark energy perverted by this place
Wild mages are always welcome in my realm, says the dark knight Your magics always have the most delicious effects
It hits the guard commander head on, encircling him in a flurry of small blue motes. As if the motes acted like a sort of beacon, the sound of a heavy object flying through air is heard from above. The commander manages only a glance upwards and a slight startled yelp before a 100lb safe drops down on him. A heavy thud envelops the arena
The commander lays under it, crushed, but alive. He grunts as he tries to lever it off, stripping off a few pieces of armor damaged in the attack.

Turning toward Eldritch at the sound of his voice
~Nay Sir, I'm am finding the entertainment much varied, and quite captivating~
Smiling at him
Just then her eyes catching movement, Ocean swings her attention back to the arena, just as the portal opens again, and a man, and woman step from it.
The man carring a long black quarterstaff and the woman, a bandolier, studded with darts, and a long daggar.
As Ocean continues to observe, a man on the other side of the arena removes his cloak and jumps down to the arena floor.
Hearing chanting, she swings her eyes back to Raekk.
A short time after hearing the chanting, the guard commander is surrounded by small swirling blue lights. A sound can be heard, as a safe lands upon the encircled commander.
I loud thud reverberates through the arena
Movement can be made out from under the safe.
The commander seems crushed, yet still alive, as he struggles to remove the safe from himself
Turning back toward Eldritch, with a enchanting smile upon her face
~As I said before, much varied, and captivating~

Rolling to his right, Mako plants the butt of his axe's steel shaft into the ground and uses it to vault back to his feet (hooves). Seeing one maimed and the other fairly crushed, he turns his attention to the third massive knight, still scrambling to get back to his feet. Seeing the warrior still virtually helpless, Mako raises the axe again and swings a deadly arc.

The warrior blocks quickly with his axe, but being off balance to begin with, was incapable of taking the blow properly. The axe grazes off of his armor and knocks him to the left. His side is turned towards the minotaur and he is slightly bent over, but his axe remains firmly in place as he tries to regain his balance.

The male wizard finishes casting his spell and the magical energies surround him in a pale green aura. He closes his eyes, absorbing the power. He removes another set of powders from his robes and begins casting again. In the meanwhile, the woman throws two darts at Darkwalker and quickly draws another pair, keeping him at bay.

Darkwalker watches the spell and sighs a little, then moves with almost impossible speed to avoid the darts. Glaring up at Eldritch, he thorws a handful of enchanted shuriken at the duo. [glow=navy,2,300]"never fails...a mage and a warrior at the same time....what's with my luck these days?"[/glow]

There is a sudden shuddering crack and a split appears in the arena floor. A thin trail of smoke spirals up and then an out thrust hand grabs the side of the flagstones. With a grunt, a man, dressed in leathers crawls up from out of the split. Where his right hand should be is some sort of strange sword which rattles and vibrates. In his left hand he holds some sort of wand.
Groovy. Alright. Which one of you stone age meatheads wants some of this. Come on.

Watching as the minotaur, gains his feet and then swings his axe at the remaining warrior.
Ocean watches intently as the axes blade slides off the warriors armour, throwing the warrior off balance
Looking over toward the other portion of the arena, Ocean can see a green aura forming around the wizard, and watches captivated, as he absorbs it.
As she continues to watch, the wizard reaches into his pouch for something.....
but at that moment she's distracted by the female hurling darts towards the now uncloak contestant from the stands.
Who in turn, quickly reacts to the darts, and throws something at the pair.
During this the earth begins to shake violently, and a rent is torn in the arena.
From it emerges a man dressed in leather. With what looks to be a wand in his left hand.
unable to see clearly, but she would swear that instead of a right hand there was a sword in it's place...
Intigued, Ocean peers down at the latest to join the battle.
Grinning over at Eldritch
~So what have you planned for this newcomer? If like any of the other warriors you've summoned thus far, I highly doubt I will be disappointed~

Still circling the duo, Darkwalker draws a small dagger off of his belt and lobs it at the duo, speaking a quick phrase that realeases it's inherent magics, multiplying the single dagger into a swarm of them, all flying towards the duo at a very high rate of speed.
