Shaylee gasped and tried to draw away from his grip. "Anton" She shook her head, "I thought you were my friend" She hadn't gotten much energy back, and didn't have any way to stop that draw. She reached out for Ravek to give him the only thing she could, information to help her "Ravek, he's a dream demon, an incubi." She sent that message as strongly as she could before her strength gave out and she returned to the coma-like state, at the mercy of Anton.

The wolves would spread out more in the confusion of the battle, firing at the troll from different angles so that it couldn't block them all. A few headed to try to check on Garmr, where she had landed, or as close as they could get.
With the troll distracted again, one of the dragonkin dropped down to try to wrestle Nektar to the ground while another pair went after Jaxon and Garth. They couldn't see Garmr, so they ignored her.

Anna growled then laughed "Well, I was trying not to hurt you too much, just to subdue, not to kill" She stated with a shrug as she tried to think of what could be done for stone skin. All the spells were new though, so she had to think about them. "Ah" She muttered as she thought about one that might work before casting it. It was a spell to soften skin, not really a fighting spell, but if she made it stronger than maybe it would help? She had to try anyway.

"Find out it's weakness and use that" Kellan said. Yeah, not much of a plan, but he didn't know this creature. He tried a sleep spell, just to see if it worked on the dragon or the handler that had released it. "For the hydra, if that's what this is, it was the heart"

Jason had another wolf hold the bag and sent a couple with Xatia to keep the young shifters together and headed the right way as he started pulling the files and putting them in the bag too. Soon enough they would have formed a chain one pulling files then handing them off and one that put the files in the bag.
The troll was overwhelmed at the frequency of the blasts and sticky fueled fire. He wailed in agony as the fire and blasts began to take him down. He stumbled to his knees, but managed to catch himself with his almost useless arms.
Nektar thrashed his sharp horns backwards at the dragonkin in an attempt to dislodge him. His badly mulled serpentine tail striking at the wings and anything else that provide a scale free target.
Garth dodged a battle dog that sprinted by them. It was almost Dire wolf sized, but had crow like feet and ebony feathers. Jaxon cause sight of a shadow from overhead. He looked in time to see one of the two dragonkin descending down upon them. He focused all his attention on the creature and burst the blood vessels within it's brain instantly.

Terminus snorted at that and moved to walk around Anna's fae wolf form. The strange sensation caught his attention as he looked to his softening stone veneer. He muttered under his breath an armor spell and instantly he was suited in custom armor. "I know spell too. Strong magic, far stronger this yours, thorn bush. " He taunted Anna with pleasure.
Xavier cursed at the suddenness of the armor. He turned to check Maxton's progress with acquiring a collar. The Fae upended drawers and cabinets in his haste. "No luck! Theyre not kept here. Where would they be?" He asked imploringly.
"The armory, I think! " Xavier shouted with inspiration. Maxton nodded and opened a portal to head there. That had been Ravek and Zypher's floor. He was glad to see that the battle here was almost under control. He hurried into the weapons closest to look for the device he needed. He jumped as Zypher asked, "Is Anna alright?! Why are you here, not with her?" Maxton explained quickly the situation and what he was in search of. Zypher stepped forward and grabbed a collar off the shelf and said, "Here it is, lets go!"
Maxton shook his head and explained, "That's not going to fit. That thing is huge. "
Zypher flipped a latch on the side and pulled the two parts apart to reveal the chain within. " Fortunate that it's a one-size-fits-all, then." He said with a smile.
Maxton grinned and hurried to the still open portal. "Indeed! " He agreed.

Ramis had taken to dragging both clawed feet across the barrier trying to dig through it some how. Three of the heads looked to the last as it fell limp upon their back. They also could compartmentalize amongst themselves, while leaving the others unaffected. As they return their attention to their desired targets. Only this time with more urgency and the anger. The last head on the right brought his head forward and started hailing the magic that kept the barrier stable to see if it would fail eventually.
"I'm not sure that good, right?!" Degan asked as he watched with uncertainly.
~~~
Navar hurried along and paused as he looked into the room at the end of the hallway. "Jason? Thank goodness! I got Markus's personal computer hard drive. It's pretty fried, but I took it anyway. What's all this?" He asked curiously.
