Madeous peered into the barracks yard to make sure there weren't any more surprises. The area was clear except for the shimmer of the magical barrier that encased the main building. He glanced upwards and spied the culprit watching the party from above. "It's clear. Alyson you know what to do. Everyone else stand back. Talos and Serna watch out from above. Willow, I trust you'll be able to spot any incoming attacks with your superior vision?"

"I can and will," The Ranger did his best to spy any points where an ambush would have been possible.

The elementalist raised both arms into the air and called forth a storm to enhance and empower her. She invoked, Mjolnir as Thor's Hammer came down in a ten foot circle completely enveloping her form before she unleashed it at the barrier. The force of the lightning blast shook the entire barracks.

***SHHRRAACCKKKKKK!!!***

The barrier wavered from the assault a few times before collapsing entirely. The elementalist lowered her hands. The ground where she stood was charged with electricity. "The barrier is down, sergeant. Go, I'll be along shortly."

"Good grief!" Irzen took a hard yet questioning look at Alyson, "Someone had their V8 this morning, didn't they?"

Madeous, Irzen, and Alyson could hear a Earth song from the eighties in the "Electric Avenue," by Eddy Grant. The elementalist smiled, "That's my kind of music, hehehe!"

Irzen just shook his head, "I'm more of an R&B guy but I understand where you are coming from."

With a firm nod, Talos motioned the party to follow, "Let's go. Weapons at the ready."

Irzen, Neven, Serna and Willow moved back into their original positions and advanced forward ready to take on whatever may come.

There was no one to greet them since all the guards had been dealt with outside the barracks. High above a sinister laughter reigned down on the party.

"Mwhaa! Hahaha! A bunch of insignificant fools come to dance with death!" Sorvor, the netherese wizard laughed at them, "Come no closer or rise as my undead servants!"

Madeous shouted at the wizard in the tower, "Come out and face us coward! Always hiding behind your minions!"

"Ah. The Platinum knight come to greet me in his final hour?" The wizard sneered.

Alyson still electrified from blasting the barrier looked skyward again with a raised hand she arced a lightning bolt down at him. She lit him up like a Christmas tree.

"YEAARRRGGGGHHHH!!" Sorvor screeched in pain from the powerful bolt.

The smell of burned and charred clothing and flesh permeated the air. "He's all yours, guys and gals. Have fun storming the tower."

"The heavy artillery has done its job," Irzen took the lead, "Now its the infantry's turn. Let's get him."

The Swordsman rushed forward with Serna close behind, Neven slipping into and out of shadows as he ran and Willow covering them. The Adventurers got inside of the tower and began to make their way up the stairs towards the mad wizard.

Sergeant Talos took lead through the main door and opened with a bang. The door caught another charmed guard by surprise sending him reeling backward but not unconscious. The other guard brought up his shield using it like a battering ram sent the sergeant back into the party. "OOFF!"

Madeous caught the sergeant and shoved him back to his feet. "Watch your feet, lad! Irzen, Neven, two to the right coming fast. Two more from the left, Willow! Serna with me."

The sound of rushing guards in armor was unmistakable as they swarmed through the hallways in attempt to stop the party from advancing.

********

Sorvor countered with his own magic summoning undead to rise and attack the elementalist in the yard. Twelve rose up in varying stages of decay. "Kill her!"

The fire within the elementalist burned ever brighter that the light permeated through all the windows of the barracks tower. It burned so intense that the heat alone incinerated half of them, and the stone walls turned red. One skeleton popped up behind the elementalist and struck without warning. She screamed in pain as it continued its attack.

"TURN! BEGONE! RETURN TO THE EARTH FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!" The Bronze Man declared clutching the symbol of Bahamut around his neck. The remaining undead disintegrated to dust before them. He looked up to the balcony defiant and defensively standing over the elementalist, "You should of stayed in your homeland, Sorvor. You were pardoned once! You will be JUDGED!"

"Bawhahahaha! YOU are a FOOL, Bronze Man! I swore long ago that I would have my revenge!" Sorvor sneered at the cleric of Bahamut.

Alyson still conscious and in pain, "Ugh! Will..ugh...someone shut him up! Ugh!"

Lazheros grasped his holy symbol with one hand and placed the other upon Alyson's back healing the wounds completely.
