Suddenly Corkmaster seemed to melt into the earth. "Damnit! I know where he's gone. (ozmo, CyberGran, c'mon, we're headed west." and Malc stared off into storm valley.
A large wooden sign stuck out of the sand. The sign reads, "The Dread Lord Ciliteh has changed the time limit from 5 minutes to one minute. Also, a stone barrier will close behind the timer should you fail, locking you in until the next foolish mortal comes along." "Ack! Thok, how are we going to get through this?" But it was too late. Thok was already running toward the black and white checkered sign. Overrider ran after him. Thok slashed the cannons that came too close in two with his sword and avoided the remains. "Thok! Look out! You're going to hit that wa-" Thok sliced a path through the wall as if it were made of crunch tiles. This is going to easier then I thought, thought Overrider(720). At last, the stone door of the exit was in sight. However, a quick look at the timer showed them to be just out of time, sealing them in. Thok ignored the fact that the door had closed and slashed it with his sword. "Wow. I've never seen a stone door burn away like monsters before." and they headed to the manditraki mountains.
They were surrounded. Thok had lost his sword early on when a manditraki wizard dropped a rock on it. The manditraki warriors were closing in on them. Fast. Thok suddenly stopped running and turned around. "Thok! What do you think you're doing?" "I'm blasting them into oblivion." Thok threw his arms out toward two seperate warriors. Twin bolts of lightning shot forth and annihilated the two warriors. Repeating the action with incredible speed, Thok cleared the army in a few short minutes. Thok ran and heaved his blade out from under the rock and climbed up the mountain further.
"Damnit!" The dread lord banged his fists into the ornate table, shattering it into a thousand small shards of wood. "He has learned how to tap into my own powers. I shouldn't have done as Xichra said and gave him some of my powers." an idea sprung into Ciliteh's head "Corkmaster, I want you to confront Thok. Knowing him, he will not kill you, but try to break my grip on your mind. You must not let him do so. Oh, yes, and you are not to kill him. You are to bring him to me, so I can restore my grip on HIS mind. Do you understand?" Cork merely nodded. "Goooood. I want you back before nightfall." Cork nodded again. Cork turned, and then stated walking toward the door. As he approached the closed door, Cork threw an arm out toward the door. A bolt of lightning shot forth and turned the it into a small pile of black ash.
