The Dire Boar heard the sound of her spell and turned around just in time to take Ivette's orb straight on the nose, it snorted and recoiled in agony. The attack, however, only managed to anger it. The beast growled and stamped its feet in a rage. It did indeed have a collar on its neck among all the ferocity of any dangerous monster.<br/><br/>It charged towards the group in a furor but was struck down from above by a bolt from the heavens. The spectators airship flying nearby were at first frightened by the display that shot down infront of them, but then cheered in delight. Dexter and the others could hear the announcement over the noise and commotion, "And a fantastic display of magic! Can we see that again? Roll back the scrying."<br/><br/>"Oh!" Came a feminine voice undulating through the air, his apparent co-announcer, "Wait, here's our chance!"<br/><br/>An unusual sound came from above, that of a horse and an eagle's cry seamlessly together. A second called out, the two hippogriffs flanking the adventurers as they landed atop the desicated rooftops.<br/><br/>Up in the clouds, Mayor Daldmeyer held Algernon tightly as he walked out into the open-air balcony of the commission's main airship. He looked down through his spyglass with a fond smile as the badger sniffed at the air and seemed to be... searching for something.<br/><br/>One of the hippogriffs landed on the street and gave a short leap forward before lashing out with its claws at the young sorceress.<br/>A testing attack, but it was an ample distraction as the goblin suddenly abandoned his hiding place and darted off towards the boar's corpse. Now in plain view, the sneaky rogue pulled the beast's collar up and started cutting it free. All he needed was the tag with the creature's value and it would have been as if he killed it himself.<br/><br/>He was dressed mostly in white, but most of his gear was darker, plus a relatively large sack that dangled around from his waist nearly to his feet. His black hair was fashioned into a mohawk and he seemed quite pleased with his theft of their prize.<br/><br/>The second hippogriff looked between him and the others, as if deciding whether or not it wanted to go for the tinier but easier meal... or pick off the group with the other beast at their flank.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Ivette hits Dire Boar.
