"Can't get in without his key anyway." Liam chuckles softly. "If I remember how this place works that is."

"I think we can do much better than that." Lyssa smiles and turns to Jesse. "After you, since I remember what happened the last time I tried to
get past one of your wards!" she says, rubbing the fingers on her right hand in memory.
"Can't get in without his key anyway." Liam chuckles softly. "If I remember how this place works that is." |

In the mean Time Sandy and Isabell head over to thier room to see what the redoubtale Padre is up to.

As Lyssa enters the hallway a faint tingling goes through her mind. "I know little one, something isn't right here but hopefully the others will be
able to help us figure out what." she murmers quietly, stopping right next to Jesse's door. "Just watch and learn all you can ok?" The
tingle flashes through again and she laughs "Ok I'll knock off the Grandpa Rogue routine. He does tell me that an awful lot doesn't he?"
She turns to see if Isabell and Joyti are following yet. She knows if they don't show up soon Liam will probably want to come looking for them. "He talks about me being stubborn." she chuckles to herself. |

Isabell and Joyti join her and she sees Isabell wink at her. She smiles back and goes to Sandy and Isabell's.

Walking out the door we all turn up the hallway towards the front office.
Joyti gives a shudder and breaks out in gooseflesh. "Brr, it is like ice in the hallway". she mutters. "Are you sure it is cold, It doesn't feel so to me. How about you two?" I ask sandy and Isabell. They both shake thier heads in negation. "Aright, lets hit the sickbay."

As we pile out in to hallway, the lights begin to flash in that 'saturday night fever' manner, making the movement of every look surreal and stop
motion style.
I head down to the magic room and of course this is the time the hallway chooses to be longer than normal. I am so going to have that chip re modulated when
I get the time.
The pounding of feet and clack of metal and arms can be heard over the klaxon horns, sounding something like a milliped with taps.
We turn the corner (where the hell did that come from) and there is the magic room, and the door is just now closing with a 'clank and klunk' of the
protective bars sliding into place.

"Blast it all!" Lyssa yells and begins cursing fluently in a mixture of Elven, Tyrollian and Wolf for a minute. She calms down and looks at everyone
and says "Sorry bout that, old habit of mine from way back, plus my Elven ears hate loud noises like that damned siren even when I know it's there for
a good reason. Ok now what the Shylac do we do now? I don't think whoever is in there is gonna open if we knock and ask nicely."

Joyti looks up at the klaxon and makes a diminutive wave of the hand, and suddenly there is 'powder puff hitting an oriental fluff rug' quiet. " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .?"

Jesse watchs Joyti with interest. She is exhibiting a talented command of magic. A thought of concern comes to his mind about her years running with the demons
and wonders how much of her magic is demon formed. It's something he will have to bring up at another time. Right now he silently goes back to the office
with the others.
"I'm gonna stand guard at the door while you guys go on into the office." |

Sandy say "Thanks Jesse, it never hurts to have a third person when it comes to fighting some of these folks".

"Well my friends, this is it" as I get in range of Jesse, Sandy and Isabell. "You, lyssa and Liam are getting your wish. I think we are about
to face the legions of hell themselves. Some how a piece of Pater got through, only this time he chose another person to imitate. But in either case, I think
she is open the portal to the other realm. So ready your weapons, and yourselves."
I touch the silver eagle on my collar and speak out "Jane, ready when you are". Over the intercom in the hallway comes a mechanical female voice 'Emergancy Power down sequence activated. All power to be cut off in 5, 4, 3, 2, one!" and the place goes black as midnight on a moonless, cloudy night. Only the glowing of the magic weapons cast any light. With that, I punch in a combination on the keypad on the wall, and the door begins to open. "Jesse, the first thing we may need to do is seal the portal if it is still open. Be ready, but don't let anything get past us". As the door swings open, in the doorway there stands two figures, one male and one female. Recognition of one is instant. "So Pater, you couldn't resist getting your self a girfriend I see. Too bad you have so little imagination as to make a copy of mine".

She speaks First, the voice is that of tar, and sludge pouring out of a deep well; Black, ugly and too smooth.
"You should know better old man; you beloved was here with us for too long. She is the copy, not I". A scream comes from my Side that rends the darkness, litereally as the first bolt is cast "YOU BITCH. YOU HISTORY". and following is bolt of light so intense that if it lasted for a few seconds more it would be giveing every one a suntan in the hallway. The Dark Joyti is struck and blown back into the room with a shriek, and the battle is on. |

Lyssa raises her right hand and throws a sphere of blue light at the enemy. Drawing their swords she and Liam stand side by side, both prepared to neither ask
for or give any quarter. Lyssa feels the baby drawing from her power as well and she murmers "Only if you have to little one otherwise just ease up until
I tell you. We've talked about this before so I know you know what to do."
She looks at Dark Joyti and says "Don't know who you are and I don't give a damn either. I do know you and Pater are going to be sorry you ever showed your sick twisted selves here." Glancing at Pater she smiles grimly "I told you I was looking forward to kicking your sorry ass so thank you in advance!" |

"You should have learned by now to swing first and talk later girl" Pater snarls as the light flys at him, with a flick of the wrist it is
engulfed in a tarry black sphere, and with equal speed and agility Dark Joyti toss a black sphere towards Lyssa. As it approches it sucks the life and warmth
out of everything with in 1 foot of it.

Sandy and Isabell scream a battle challange at the two figures, and rush. He steps aside nimbly thinking to evade them, but he is not the target. I toss a null
magic spot spell on the area and for a second Pater and Dark Joyti waver as thier hold on the world is diminshed slightly. In the meantime Sandy and Isabell
are in the room taking on the next wave coming in through the sphere.
"Holy Mother of Pearl" I hear him yell, "this better be a good day to die, cause we are facing the hordes of hell." As an ugly demon comes poking its head in, Sandy whips the blade around and takes off the head. Nothing like a Top of the Line Holy Avneger sword to help with the fighting. Isabell cast two quick fireball spells at some of the creatures in the plane trying to reach the opening of the sphere. It doesn't actually destroy them but the blast knocks the first 4 rows in front done, causing the next 4 to trip in chain reaction. A small winged demon manages to sneak in on the fly literally before either Isabell and sandy can react. It heads out into the hall. As it streaks past the fighters, appearing to run rather than fight, it drop several 'eggs'. Each one begin to grow until they merge, forming another sphere into which the demons can enter this world.

Jesse curses as the winged demon gets past and out into the hall. Seeing what the demon is doing he decides to let the others battle Pater and Dark Joyti. The last thing they all needed was smaller portals opening at their backs. Silently, Jess races after the demon. Along the way, he casts a modified shatter spell at the portal eggs causing them to implode one by one. He only has a few of those spells in memory and hopes he can get to the demon before he runs out. Three, four, and then five portals shatter as he catches up to the demon. He has no more of the spells left but the demon drops one more before Jesse reaches it. With a lunging jump, the half-elf manages to slice through one of the wing joints which causes it to crash to the floor in a hissing pile of demon muscle. Quicker than Jess can imagine the mottled green hellspawn recovers to cast a blackened demon curse. Calling upon the shadow that he has come to embrace, Jesse dissipates into shadow that allows him to dodge the curse intended for him. An instant later he materializes behind the demon to cleave it in two with the vorpal blade wielded so accurately. As an afterthought, Jess casts a magic jar spell to capture the demon's soul before it returns to the planes of hell. The half-elf takes a heavy sigh and looks to the next thing in his path, the slowly growing portal that is now between him and everyone else. "Well crap!", he yells and begins to cast dimensional lock and hopes he can complete it before any of the horde make it out... |

Seeing the ball coming at lysaa, I toss another 'light spell' but it is sucked up by the black morass. Something catches my eye from the
side.....another damned sphere. I turn to see what is going on, and notice that Jesse is on the other side casting a spell. Not in time, though before he can
get the words out, four harpies appear though they are just enough confused to not attack on the first go around. Luckly I am still carring a couple of those
special items, and pull a couple of tiny baseball bats out of the black bag which has finally materialised by my side.

That dratted little bastard of a paladin and his bitch wife are making mince meat of the legions. I have to stop them.
"D.J., my love would you mind tackeling the others of Padres team out in the hall, whilst I go pound on the two inside here." with that I turn and reach out to touch someone, near and dear to good old Padre. Dark Joyti smiles and ups the ante, tossing another black sphere out into the hallways. The one approching lyssa becomes a shadow creature of 6 foot height with wings of jet black. It looks like a balrog. The other ball heads toward Liam and becomes a shadow naga. While those are making thier attacks she then sends a lancing ray of jet black towards Joyti. |

The harpies fly out of the portal but Jesse's concentration is strong enough to continue the spell. He intones the last word of power and the portal locks
down. The only problem with the spell is that it only lasts 24 hours but for right now it's one less thing to worry about.
Jess crosses over the locked portal to help finish off the harpies that haven't been pummelled to death by the magic bats. With two quick thrusts the harpies go down. Looking around he heads back toward Liam and the rest in a hurried run. |
