Xan dashes through the hallways until he reaches the corridor to the door of the senate hall. 30 royal guards are gathered in front of it. A man wearing a black helm is addressing them. Xan quickly takes cover.
"When we burst into this room, we will have to kill every senator we find. They have made an assassination attempt on the king. Some are well versed in combat and magic. Be on your guard."
He gives the command and the troopers stream into the senate hall through the doors. They charge towards Kravis, Dorney and the remaining senators.
Meanwhile, a large gryphon makes his way through the labyrinth of corridors, desperately trying to reach the senate hall.

"Hm...an ambush eh? Sounds like fun." Says Lord Xan.
He bursts into the Senate Hall.
"Having fun boys?" He says.
They all turn towards him.
He smiles. " KARNAROCK!!"
The battle begins.

The guards quickly overwhelm Xan. Just then, a mighty Gryphon bursts through the doors and a proud shriek erupts from its beak.
"Now I've seen everything." mutters one of the guards, before his face is smashed by Xan's warhammer.
All the senators apart from Kravis have escaped.
A crossbow bolt strikes Xans knee and a Guard swings at Revendorus with all his strength.
Kravis - 3 wounds Xan - 1 wound

Lord Xan gives an agonising scream as he removes the bolt from his leg. No time to cover the wound, Dodge to the right. A guard is pummeling towards him, he raises his sword in the guards direction. The guard realises too late to be able to stop. It goes clean through his gut. Xan twists his sword sideways within his gut. The wound will not close. He wil die.
Just when he was about to tend to his wound, a crossbow comes flying at him. Amazingly he dives to the side just missing it by a few centimeters, not realizing that he just dived into two guards. He looks up. He rolls and on the ground takes his weapons up infront of him in defensive stance waiting for them to attack.

Kravis didn't let the guards weapon connect. He jumped in the air grabbed the gryphons neck and mounted it. He Then continued his rain of lighning on the guards. Many Guards were instantly killed. The Gryphon dove every now and then , mauling and pawing many guards.
"If we are going down, lets go down wiht atleast half of them"- Kravis yelled at Xan

The Imperial Guard suffers heavy losses. 12 of them were already dead. A frenzied soldier slashes Xan's chest, drawing a good amount of blood. The crossbowmen fire madly at the gryphon, trying to down the flying creature.
Kravis senses a band of 20 soldiers moving towards the hall.
Maybye now is a good time to make a run for it.
Kravis - 3 wounds Xan - 2 wounds Gryphon - 3 wounds
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile:
The king arrives at his underground chamber. He is surprised to see somebody already there.
"You had them killed? Why didnt you imprison them? What are you going to tell people?"
The voice was was that of Briggs, King Rayon's advisor.
"That they tried to kill me. They have always expressed hate towards me. People will believe it."
Rayon took a little while to catch his breath before answering the other question.
"Even with anti-portal magic, it would be rather hard to keep Kravis locked up. He would become some sort of symbol of sacrifice. By presenting them as a group of cowardly assasins, we can stop the growth of the following he has. This killing is not something that I thought up on the spot you know. I have been planning this for ages. And anyway, they are traitors."
"You mean they dont agree with your ideas?"
"Careful, Briggs."
"I apologise."
"Ivorin has been organising terrorist movements. Many other senators have been promoting their democracy, An ideal that is anti-Shandon. Therefore, they are traitors and deserve to die."
Suddenly, a guard rushes down the stairs.
"Sire! The senators have escaped through a portal! Xan and Kravis are currently battling the Imperial Guard!"
The king was aghast. Briggs remained still.
"What! Did we not employ a magician to create an anti-portal aura?!" yelled the king.
"Well.. believe it or not.. the man was killed by band of eagles not long before the senate session. He was cut up pretty bad when we found him."
King looked back at Briggs.
"Aten! That meddlesome fool!" he yelled. "Gather every guard you can find and send them in! Quick!"

Kravis opened the portal near Xan and yells
"Get out ! Run, I will meet you at the other side!"
Kravis opens a larger portal for the gryphon and gets out of there via the portal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the Other Side
"Go on Draveen, you can find your way home "
Kravis was on the outskirts of Ras Kar. He waited for Xan in a near by deserted house

((Xan enters the portal))
"Goddamit! They've gone!" yelled the leader of the Guard. "Tell the gatekeepers, if they see Xan, Kravis or ANY senator, attack without hesitation."
The man storms out of the hall, clearly looking for someone.
