Drow Academy

<OOC>Jumping in real quick as a student named...Tarathiel, male.<OOC>

I ran over to the weapons rack that my teacher had mentioned, hefting two wooden daggers, my favored weapon. I charged staraight up the massive rock, rolling as swiftly as I could into one of the tunnels. If my suspicions were right, the layout would include a shaft downwards, perfect for an ambush.
 
Anais began moving swiftly and silently through the maze of tunnels, hearing awekward footspets shuffling somewhere to her left. She came upon a female Drow, obviously not a fighter.

Anais squared off silently and smacked the girl hard across the back, causeing her to crumple in a heap. She'd come to in a few minutes, but for now, Anais had to continue.
 
Andrith-The sounds were magically amplified on this balcony and I smiled as the first of what it seemed would be many sickening cracks reached me. I smiled at the sound. The Melee had begun in earnest

Tarathiel-I had indeed found a shaft, almost falling into it . Instead, I'd extended myself halfway down it, holding my arms and legs out to the sides. Blinking, I switched to my infravision (innate to all Drow, so feel free), hoping it'd help in spotting targets I could drop upon.
 
Using her infravision, Anais saw a pair of legs dangling around a corner. She smiled evilly and swung her bo staff hard at the offending legs.
 
<OOC>I assume that'd be me.<OOC>

Tarathiel-It was sheer luck that saved me at that point. Before I even heard the whistle of the staff, I'd pulled mylegs bag to try and conceal myself. I let my arms off the wall at that point, deliberately falling onto the hard rock below and concealing my daggers, scuttling bck and putting on a fearful expression as I said (or begged, perhaps) "Please don't hurt me, I'll help you, I will. I'll take second."
 
Anais naturally become suspicious. "Ha, like I believe that lie for two seconds!" she retorted, stabbing at the boy's chest with her staff, then swinging it dangerously close to his head.
 
i looked around the cave, trying to occupy myself until something happens. I then noticed a small crawl space in the ck of the cave jsut big enough for me to get into. Wonderin where it went, I got on my hands and knees and began crawling deeper into the mountain.
 
Turning vicious, I knocked the strike at my head off-course, jumping up and into a semblance of a fighting stance. I started taunting my opponent, whoever it was, saying "You're right, I would've stabbed you in the back. I would've enjoyed it too, you know."
 
Anais smiled at her opponent, almost sweetly. "Well then, let's begin then!" she said quietly, as not to alert others thier whereabouts.

She swung the staff at her opponent's legs, then took another stab at his chest.
 
I jumped over theattepted sweep and danced back from the stab, flipping one of my daggers into a backhand grip and jumping back into the fray, hoping to get to a point where the staff wouldn't be as much of a problem.
 
I finally found the end of the tunel. I was on a slope on another side of the mountain. two other Drow where fighting nearby, but as far a I was concerned I didn't need tojump in. The goal was not just to stay on top, but to avoid getting caught if possible. I ducked down behind a boulder and readied my staff in the case that I might have to jump in.
 
OOC: Fray? Like, the entire class is fighting? Right then...

BIC: Anais followed her opponent, ready to teach him a lesson for messing with her.

She dodged and weaved, still accuratly swinging the staff at the insolent boy. How dare he even think of stabbing her in the back? She took another stab, realizing her staff had a slight point to the end.
 
<OOC>It's just one of my favorite words.<OOC>

Tarathiel too, realized this as the staff nicked his left shoulder. He ignored the pain as best he could and took his oppurtunity while his opponent was still overextended from the thrust. He spun in to the left, flipping the backhand dagger back to a forehand grip and coming in with a rapid series of stabbing attacks, weaving between Anais's torso, throat, and head.
 
Anais cringed as the blade met her head. She was slashed above the eyebrow, but she quickly tucked and rolled under the Drow's legs. She then took a swing at his back, the same manuever she used to dispose of the female Drow.
 
A quick somersault to the side negated most of the damage, but as I returned to my feet my back stung and I was wobbling a bit. Whoever I was facing was good. Muttering to myself I finished the though "But not good enough." I levitated <OOC>Another ability, again, feel free.<OOC> up into the shaft I'd jumped down from, taking off sprinting towards the outside of the rock when I was up.
 
Anais brought a hand to her head, deciding not to follow. She cursed under her breath and wiped blood from her face.

She then noticed someone else was in the area.

"Who's there?" she whispered dangerously, her grip on the staff tightening. "Show yourself!"
 
Anais still felt as though she was being watched, and chose to ignore it, for now.

She raced back the way she came, quickly disposing of three more students. She didn't pause to find out if they were male or female, it seemingly didn't matter.

Her staff swung silently to the forth, the same girl she had knocked down earlier. Anais smiled to herself, now in search of the boy who had slashed her head. He would pay....
 
<OOC>Just a quick comment, but great job staying in character, you two. Congrats.<OOC>

Andrith-I'd heard sounds of a fight but it seemed to be inconclusive. Pity, that, things were developing too slowly. Only five of 42 students down.

Tarathiel-After breaking out of the tunner, I swung up into a little crag, figuring it safer to recover and wait for any more potential targets befor progressing.
