Meanwhile...

[Khan]

Khan gasped as the slithering shadow began to strengthen it's grasp around his neck. The halfling appeared to be dazed from the unexpected attack as well as the subsequent cave-in, and Khan took this as an opportunity to strike. As his attacker stood up, Khan again wrapped his arm around the cold shadow and flipped it around the halfling's neck. He pulled the noose, and in an instant both he and the assassin were choking on the same rope.

"Get...over...here..." Khan growled. He tugged again, and the breathless halfling went flying towards the orc. His trajectory was cut short by Khan's outstretched knee, which sunk into the attacker's gut with a sickening crunch. A vat of blood emerged from the halfling's mouth before he slammed down onto the grime covered sewer floor. Khan placed his foot on the assassin's small head and began to push.

"I'd...love...to...play...with...you...all...day," Khan snarled in between haggard breaths, "But...I've...got...4...lungs. You...don't. I'd...let...go...if...I...were...you..."

[Merrick]

Merrick felt the orc's heavy foot slowly crushing him into the ground and the world around him began to slowly dim from his view. His thoughts began to drift and suddenly a shadowy figure of a man came into his mind's eye view. " YOU STILL OWE ME LITTLE ONE!"

Merrick's mind quickly snapped back to reality and he quickly grabbed a potion from his satchel and tossed it at the where guessed the orc's face would be.

A howl of pain let him know that his aim was true and quickly made another noose to pull the orc off balance. Merrick was exhausted, he was sure he could not match the orc.

"Well" he thought, " at least be free of him..."

[Khan]

The green gas, as well as the shards of a glass bottle now lodged in his face, temporarily threw Khan off balance. He felt the noose around his neck disappear, and he began to gasp for air as his eyes burned. Yet as soon as Khan drew his first breath another cold rope slipped around his neck. He felt an incredible tug, and he went soaring into the newly formed pile of rubble. Khan got to his knees as he desperately attempted to blink the vile mixture out of his eyes. He looked up and saw only vague shapes, one of which appeared vaguely humanoid.

"Stop...it...you...little...bastard..." He wheezed as he unsheathed a throwing axe from his back. He looked again at the fuzzy shapes, and in a last ditch effort haphazardly tossed the axe in the human thing's general direction. Khan heard a yelp echo through the tunnel as the noose disappeared. Khan drew a deep breath as he lifted his hands to his eyes and began rubbing the toxic liquid out.

His vision returned in a couple of seconds, and when he lifted his head he saw the halfling attempting to pull the throwing axe out of his shoulder. "Now you're 'gonna get it, little man." Khan said as he reached his arm back to pull Sonja from her sheath. He yanked on the hilt and was rewarded with a dull metal clank. Khan turned his head in surprise to see Sonja's hilt pressed against the tunnel ceiling. He pushed Sonja back into the sheath, then pulled again, and the hilt bounced back off the wall. He didn't have enough room to draw his claymore. "Aw, crap." He grumbled as he turned back towards the halfling, who seemed to be making progress on the axe. Khan drew out his short sword and readied himself. "Bring it on, shorty." He growled.

[Merrick]

Merrick finally wiggled the axe free of of his shoulder armor. Due to the orc being previously beaten and also blinded by to toxin, the axe only just made it through the leather armor, nicking his flesh ever so slightly.

"Fine" he said standing up "but be forewarned that I don't fight fair." a small smirk appearing on his lips.

The orc was still standing his ground when Merrick melded into the shadows and snaked onto the wall. Calling forth his powers of The Shadow, Merrick turned the orc's own shadow against him. The orc was surprised to see that he was being restrained by merely nothing but himself when Merrick launched his own personal throwing axe straight for his head.

[Khan]

Khan looked down to see his own shadow wrapping around him. "By Krom! I am seriously getting tired of this crap." Just as the words left his mouth, he looked up to see a throwing axe flying right for his head. Khan titled his head as the throwing axe grazed his cheek.

The shadow became more and more oppressive, dragging him down further and further until at last he was on his knees. "Today, I survived getting kicked through a window by a 9 foot tall robot." Khan growled as he looked up at the still smirking halfling. "I've fallen through a building, gotten burned by the fires of hell, and had to drink THE WORST mead I've ever had." He began to grind his teeth and pull on the heavy shadows. "I DID NOT survive just to get taken out by some leather wearing midget wizard!" With every ounce of strength left in him Khan pulled. The shadows would not budge, however, and Khan was beginning to run out of options. He felt the shadow creeping into his vision, and a dark frost seemed to be spreading throughout his body.

Khan knew that unless he freed himself in the next several seconds, either the black mass that he was now covered in would overtake him, or the little one would simply stroll up and slit his throat. As the shadow began to cover his face, Khan looked up at the assassin. "Sorry to have do this to 'ya, kid. But it's either this or die." With these words, Khan closed his eyes and the final bit of darkness veiled the orc's face. The dirty sewer walls sat in silence for several moments while the writhing mass began to suffocate its victim. Victory seemed assured for the halfling, until a steady rumble began to emanate throughout the tunnel. Suddenly, the shadows exploded in a plume of purple mist. The orc rose from the mist, arms in the air, and let out a feral, bloodcurdling roar. Khan's muscles seemed to have expanded even further, and enlarged veins ran across his entire body. He looked down at his attacker with white, pupiless eyes and screamed "KILL...KILL!" in a crazed, bloodthirsty voice. The orc smiled, then charged the assassin with amazing speed.

[Merrick]

"Not good..." Merrick said very quietly.

The orc began to swing at him furiously give him split seconds to nearly dodge them. The orc threw a quick but heavy jab and hit Merrick directly in the face. He could feel his nose shatter behind the brute force of the punch. Merrick when soaring through the air and landed ten feet from his previous position.

As he groggily stoop back up, the orc charged once more giving Merrick no time to think. On instinct, he threw a dozen pins coated in a muscle relaxant salve, but the orc brushed the attack away as if it were a mere fly.

The orc slammed into him and carried Merrick through one of the sewer walls into a much larger room. Merrick was once again flung helplessly away landing a pile of debris 15 feet away. He looked up again just in time to see the orc charging once more.

[Jagues]

As Godfried walked down the tunnel he heard a low rumble then the tunnel started to shacke he had to steady himself other wise he would have fallen into the disgusting water. After it stopped he started to walk forward again thats when he heard some sounds that sounded like combat so he started running down the tunnel toward the direction of the sound.

When Godfried got their he saw a halfling begining thrown across a gaint room and the Orc preparing for another charge. Godfried acted he rushed to stand in front of the halfling set silver skin to maxim defense and prepared himself for the attack.

[Khan]

Khan's vision ran red as he charged again at the downed halfling. He was caught off guard when a stranger, all aglow in a strange, silver light, dashed in front of him. Khan glanced off one of the cloaked man's floating metal plates and ricocheted onto the hard, damp ground. Khan caught himself as he slid along the slick stone, spun upwards, and then put his right foot behind him to brake. He slid back another couple of inches, then looked up at the halfling's mysterious saviour. It was at this point that the muscle relaxant the assassin had pumped him full of began to take a slight effect, as Khan felt a slight flicker of consciousness beneath his boundless rage.

Nonetheless, Khan felt another surge of anger pump through his veins, and his already tense, over sized muscles grew in size. "SHINY MAN SHOULD MIND HIS OWN BUSINESS!" Khan screamed as he dashed at the newcomer with the force of a freight train. He slammed into the floating metal plates, and white sparks flew as the unstoppable force met the immovable object. They stood in an intense deadlock as the entire cavern seemed to shake from the sheer force. Khan looked down at the man in silver, and smiled. "SHINY MAN MAKE KHAN ANGRY. SHINY MAN NOT LIKE KHAN WHEN KHAN IS ANGRY!"

[Jagues]

Godfried wasn't prepared for how strong this orc was as the first strike sent vibrations through his entire body and sent him sliding back wards and he nearly hit the halfling. This time he was prepared and braced himself for the impact. He could feel the monstrous strength this orc had though not noticeable he was being pushed back but by inches, he had to end this now so Godfried balls up his right fist an activates bursting fist. A red glow starts forming on his fist and he could fell the heat rising from it "Hope your ready orc because I'm going to send you flying!" screamed Godfried at the orc.

[Khan]

True to his word, the stranger sent Khan flying as the punch slammed into his jaw with the force of a meteor. He flew upwards and smashed into the high end of a stone wall with a dull crunch. For an instant, Khan again felt a surge of consciousness.

"The crap the halfling threw at me must be having some effect." The orc mused to himself. "Hopefully I can calm down before I tear this poor bastard apart."

These thoughts were fleeting however, since immediatly after his collision, the orc plummeted down 10 feet into a river of murky sewage. There he remained for several moments, and a strange sense of calm began to pervade the chamber. The calm was shattered suddenly as the ground directly behind the stranger exploded in a shower of rubble. The orc emerged from the hole with blinding speed, and he seemed even larger and more imposing than before. "SUPRISED, SHINY MAN?" Khan bellowed as he stiffened his arm in an attempt to closeline the suprised stranger.

[Jagues]

The closeline landed a direct hit sending Godfried flying across the chamber and ramming right into a wall with a lound thund(ha you hit me so hard I didnt even hit the ground). Godfried had to shack his head so that he didn't go unconicses he then pulled himself out from the wall and procceded to walk toward the orc blood coming down from his head. "Damn" Godfried said to himeself but silently "If it wasn't for that cooldown I wouldn't of been hurt this much." now he stood in front of the orc with his fists out in front of him ready to continue the fight.

[Khan]

Khan stood for a second, seething. "SHINY MAN NOT DEAD? SHINY MAN IS STRONG!" He screamed. "BUT KHAN IS THE STRONGEST THERE IS!" At this moment, Khan again felt his sanity try to push through. "NO!" The orc groaned as he began punching himself in the head. "HUMAN IS WEAK! ORC IS STRONG! THIS IS KHAN'S BODY NOW!" Another surge of anger pulsed through him, and Khan shook off his inhibitions. His muscles were monstrous and unnaturally gargantuan now, and black veins cracked through his white eyes. He stared hungrily at the wounded man. "KHAN WILL EAT YOUR BONES!" He declared as he dashed forward with unnatural speed. He was getting haphazard and sloppy now, but the punch he aimed at the stranger's chest was strong enough to bust through solid steel.

[Jagues]

Godfried barely avoided the punch but the sheer force sent him backwards a few feet and his vision was blured for a few seconds. He then rushed the orc and aimed a kick with all his might at the orc's side but still disorinted from the force of the punch he wasnt sure if he was going to hit or not.

(sorry for the short posts)

[Khan]

While the stranger's kick was, admittedly, a bit off, Khan's now massively inflated frame was taking a toll on his reflexes, and he took the full brunt of the bone shattering kick on his jaw. The strange man flipped off the orc's face, and Khan stumbled back as a line of black blood streamed from his lip. The beast turned his head back towards the man and stared at him with hollow eyes that had now turned icy black. He licked the blood from his lip and gave the silver assailant a feral smile. "THAT TICKLED."

He laughed maniacally, then flew over to where the man stood. He slammed his fists into the stranger's outstretched hands, and the device on the silver man's chest began to spark from the orc's intense strength. Small streaks of white lightning, emanating from the strange device, began to shoot between them as the deadlock continued.

It was at this point that the ancient old room, weakened from the huge amount of fighting, began to shake and crack. Various bits of rubble and debris began to fall around the fighters, who were still locked in their deadly struggle.

The now massive orc looked down at the struggling man. "KHAN'S GOING TO RIP OUT YOUR BEATING HEART!" He growled savagely.

[Jagues]

Godfried could feel the strength this creature had but he wasn't going to lose so he put all of his might into also noticing that the silver skin was emitting white lighting. The lighting was hitting the walls and the celling causing pieces to fall of and some from the celling and these were huge chunks nearly hit the two splashing water over both of them but still neither would yield.
His silver skin was almost done cooling off so he had to find a way to get this orc away from him until the cool down was complete but at the moment he couldn't move if he did he knew he would be beat into a bloody pulp.
