*Nox would grasp Iapetus like it was the one ring. The blade was his life, and it him. He had taken a list doing what he did. Nox would take out his dagger and whisper the dark spell, causing it to grow black. He would move to strike the Fellow elf with the dagger, but at the last second, transfer his momentum to Iapetus and swing the massive blade twice with one hand. During this, he would throw the dagger in his other hand right into the sky, hoping gravity would bring it down and land it on the patch of grass behind Vinran.*
Charles
*Vinran would raise his hand and a shield would appear once more at the same time as you cast your dark tendril spell. He would prepare for himself for you to throw it while holding his staff out in a defensive position as he uses his faster feet to close the distance between the two of you. He would parry the first strike of your massive blade, and upon realizing that you were throwing the dagger into the air use his shield to block the second strike. It would shatter the shield, but the force released would push lapitus out of the way for Vinran to be within grabbing distance of you, which is what he does, locking you in between his arms. The dagger would finally land behind him and the tendrils would grab his feet and immobilize them, but he simply smirks as he was aware he didn't need to move anymore anyway.* 
*Nox would then see the lightning staff cackle with red electricity before exploding as two red orbs appear. The red ball would strike Vinran's chest while the other would rise up into the air behind Nox. Vinran would look at Nox eye to eye, or at least where he assumed your eyes were given your mask and smile weakly*

"Looks like this is the end. I told you didn't I? I wasn't going to go back alive... This is my parting gift, probably the best payment I could give someone as selfish as you. I hope this information will help you learn empathy as you get a taste of what your comrade felt"
Amy
*Nox roared in frustration. He considered turning back and try to block some of the blow with Iapetus, but he realizes that it would only conduct the lightning into him, which he did not want to happen. He knew it would be nigh impossible for him to break free, so he stopped struggling. Granted, he could heal himself but he would have preferred a much cleaner engagement. He shakes his head. Coward. Taking the coward's way out. Dishonorable fool. He would brace himself for the lightning that would soon overcome his body and senses...*
Charles
*A moment later the red lightning bolt would fall from the floating orb, shoot through Nox's body, searing his nerves and limbs with agonizing pain as flashes of white and red appear in his eyesight. The tremendous force of the blast would knock you atop of Vinran, causing your ears to ring deafeningly. When it's all done and over, your robes are ruined, and the scent of your burned flesh fills the air. You can clearly feel that the ground around you along with your body was scorched. After a couple of minutes you would regain your eyesight and your hands would be able to move again. The first thing you would see is the corpse of Vinran with that smug smile on his scorched face.*
*Looking over to your side you see Arthur's burnt naked body laying next to his gear. It would also appear the fire spells you've cast earlier along with the Crack in the Sky would finally be taking hold as the steepe slowly starts to burn over though not at a level that you felt was threatening. Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it looked like the entrance to hell though. All in all, it would seem you've completed your job.*
Amy
Is he like in fox form or what
Keith
Hes human form now lel
Amy
*Nox would stank up shakily, run a blade across his hand then proceed to heal himself with his healing spell. Now would stare into the Sky, walk a few paces before stopping and returning to the Elf's body. He would take out a dagger and cut the Elf's left ear off and put him in a pouch. He would walk over to where Arthur lay, and kick him in an attempt to wake him up. Nox would bend down and contemplate healing him. He had little mana left, and Arthur was too weak to be a prospect for an agent. His hand would hover over Arthur's body, but he ultimately removed it without healing him and got on his horse, ready to walk away.*

*Upon reaching the Plauge doctor, he would toss the bag containing the El'f ear at his feet, remaining seated on his horse.*
Charles
The plague doctor would look into Nox's bag then up at him, then back in the bag

"Oh deaf one, I did not ask for you to bring me an ear to show that you can hear. But, worry not, for the lord has good faith in you. Thus I will trust that you've carried out your holy duty. If not, the lord's punishment shall reign upon you. Before you receive your due reward, may I ask where art thou the holy man? Did his god. Mame so e, fail to protect him as he delivered justice?"
Amy
*Nox shook his head and Said:*

"Noxed unleosted in impetaply, a felior end, lord 3 the vallegly horse that suver the tied left for Indra: the Sage, then the tyjlent, though it is a light, he serve my works, not set unto you? And who believe the sip, all confused, pray to the draught."
Charles
The plague doctor would nod his head understandingly

"I see, all is now made clear. Thou has had his brain fried. Worry not, I ,a servant of the lord, shall deliver his blessing to aid you." He would then walk over and attempt to touch your head with his hand
Amy
*Nox would stand and then would await payment.*
Charles
The plague doctor would press his hand against your head, pull out his book and read 

"Oh, by the guidance of the divine one, I ask that you heal whatever affliction this lost lamb so that he may walk the path of righteousness once more"

Nox would then feel healing energy surge through his body, albeit to little effect considering he had healed himself prior, but his head might feel a bit fresher.

The plague doctor would then pull away his hand and bow "I pray that my mortal body was strong enough to deliver the divine energy to heal you of your affliction. I hope now you may speak with your tongue unhindered by the weak mind"
Amy
*Nox, realizing he was no going to get paid without giving a non nonsensical answer and said:*

"Ahhh, Thank you, I feel much better now! As for my companion, I believe that he was struck by the same thing I was struck by. He is unconsius, but the fire got to big for me to carry him away."
Charles
"No need for thanks, for all good things naturally come from the lord! Oh, but I pity your companion. It seems his god has truly abandoned him, that poor soul. Perhaps I can use this opportunity to convert him to my much more generous lord. Anyhow, it seems you've carried out your duty, and thus shall now receive your due reward. Generally you two would be able to compromise on how much to receive, but seeing how your companion is unconscious, I suppose you may take however much you desire of the reward." 

The plague doctor would then hand you a pouch and inside would be 15 gold
Amy
Hmmm Ill take 8, and tell Arthur to Visit me in the
Keith
*Arthur would lie unconscious, drifting what seemed to be indefinitely in a dark, lightless space. He couldn't see, he couldn't feel, he couldn't think. There was no sense of direction within this entire plane of reality, if it was real at all. All he could do was... Drift. Drift around in the empty expanse of the void, drift around, hoping to come across anything in hopes of stimulation. There was nothing to do, nothing to touch, nothing to see; just the vast infinity laid, invisibly, before him. A second passed, or maybe it was a minute? He had no idea. It went like this for what seemed to be eons upon eons, eternities upon eternities. It went on and on, but still, nothing happened. He drifted.*

*Although, an infinity later, there was a small piercing light that shone in the darkness, a small light that pierced through where his mental skull would be, illuminating his entire body. Arthur looked down; he seemed to be more corporeal than physical, more ethereal than solid. His 'body' was made out of various wisps of golden strands of stars, and he was able to move again. From above, he could hear the rhythmic chanting and singing of a heavenly chorus, singing of healing, joy, redemption, and all the like. Seeing that there would be no other place to go besides 'up', where the light shone from. As he directed his 'body' towards the endless ceiling of sun and stars, he heard the singing grow louder with each repetition of the incoherent chants that were simultaneously soothing, and powerful. His vision would fade to white, and he would lose feeling for a brief moment.*

*He woke up, naked, and feeling like he had come out of an otherwordly experience. He was staring, eye to eye, with the plague doctor.*
Charles
"The lord's grace has brought you back to the light fellow brother. I am grateful to the lord's guidance, as if I had not arrived when I did, the flames of this hellish landscape would've consumed you."

*The plague doctor would then get up and cover Arthur in a black cloak and hand over his stuff as well as a pouch with 7 gold.*

"It seems your god, Mame so e, has forsaken you. I've done what I could, but alas the shame to your body cannot be washed away. May I convert you to follow the generous lord? If you are wondering where the deaf one is, he has already received his portion and has asked of me to be his messenger. He desires to meet you at the border cities. For what purpose, I do not know. In either case, I respect your dedication to bring down the sinner. I pray that we may meet again to deliver the lord's desires, that is if you too desire it"
Keith
*Nodding towards the plague doctor, Arthur would rise to his feet. He felt revitalized, no thanks to that bastard Nox. However, he was the one who dealt the killing blow to Vinran, so Arthur did feel a slight bit of gratitude towards the elf. Instinctively, he ran his hand across his chest. Sure enough, there were 3 massive lightning scars running through his abdomen to the beginning of his hip, all marks of when he took the assault of the bolt head on. He reckoned he had some minor ones on his face as well, but those would have been cleansed away by now, seeing that the plague doctor had already cast seemingly powerful healing magic on Arthur. He went over to his armor and sword, putting it all on, piece by piece. He then looked for the gauntlet he had lost earlier, and put that on as well. His sword, Rasmus, looked untouched and undulled by the combat that had just previously ensued. A fine blade.*

*He would then search the area for a trace of Nox, but wouldnt find the elf anywhere. Sighing, he would turn his head towards the plague doctor, resignation in his eyes.*

"Goodbye, holy brother. Let's see eachother again soon, hopefully on better terms than this."
Charles
*The plague doctor would nod albeit you get the feeling he was a bit disappointed that you didn't take his offer to convert.* "Indeed. I pray for your safe travel" 
*The plague doctor would then go over to Vinran's smoldering body and stuff it into a bag. The plague doctor would seemingly sigh as he scanned over the burning landscape, but set out casting holy spells to restore the plant life and slowly put out the flames, leaving Arthur to his own devices.*
