As the darkness dissipated Roger fired another bolt of pure darkness. It hurled forward through the fading cloud of blackness into the Minotaur's chest. The flow of life force erupted through Roger bringing him to a moment of glee. I could get used to this.
Roger, who was laughing all the while, plunged his hands into the earth. From his hand emanated a slow moving tendril of evil. A darkness so black it seemed to pull the ground into it. The darkness seemed to corrupt the arena; it began to form together into a dripping black orb around Roger. Roger just grinned in sadistic glee.

Tilia thoroughly impressed with the Mind Mage, suddenly feels the thickening aura of death surround her she says one word "HOME!" and then draws more mana to herself, this time it is a mire of very brackish looking sandy water.
With that done, she calls forth another summoning circle which she uses to bring forth a slightly larger bat like creature, this one looking all the world like it was made of undead flesh.
Dodaer sees the opposing mages were recharging. Dodaer took this chance to test out the spell he was dying to try out. "Let's make sure we don't see another of those," said Dodaer, not exactly toward Roger directly. Dodaer plunges into Roger's immediate memory and temporarily wipes out all memory of how to cast that spell again.
IC: Dodaer's aura returns to him. Not holding anything back, Dodaer uses the energy once again. This time, another shadow stirs on the floor and uses the remaining power to grow. Both of the huge shadows streak across the ground heading directly towards Roger.
"Roger, please, calm yourself... we aren't trying to kill each other here." Tilia says placing a hand calmly on Roger's shoulder hoping that it will calm him down.

Roger shrugged off her hand, he knew he wasn't going to kill anyone here, or at least part of him did. But he was in my head like... HIM... He couldn't let him get away with that. The anger was still there but, there was something new, was it... fear?
Dodaer realized he probably chose the wrong person's memories to touch. "Don't worry, I didn't probe your mind. In fact all I did was pull your most recent memory from you for the moment. You'll get it back. We're only practicing here you know." Dodaer began to wonder the horrors of what Roger could cause him and gave himself a mental note to watch out for Roger.

There's something about a homemade avvy that makes you feel proud no matter how much it sucks.
Tilia sighs, and calls some mana to herself, she suddenly gets an idea. If they can hold off just a little longer. "Roger, I need some time to make preperations. Do you think you can buy us that time?" She asks Roger.
She then motions for her Mourning Thrull to make an attack at Dodaer, the man who angered Roger so highly.
OOC I'm assuming those robbers are coming on second main.
Roger turned to his partner "I can... I can do that." A silvery orb appeared and darkened by corruption. "How about a taste of HELL!" The Arena seemed to shake as a hole of purple and black lightning bubbled up between the four mages. It grew and then exploded outward grabbing onto each and every ethereal being in the arena.

Tilia frowns as her creatures are wiped away in the aftermath of the explosion, she wipes a little gunk off of her face from where her bat once stood on her shoulder. She looks to Roger and thinks to herself not quite what I had in mind, but it will do nicely.
She then moves her hands in an intricate pattern and creates a summoning rune, from which a black pillar appears, the pillar binds itself to Dodaer, and then to Tilia, corrupting Dodaer's life force, and buffering Tilia's. Then the Pillar dissipates, and standing in its place is a man, wearing what appears to be piece-mail armor and carrying two very nasty looking daggers in his hand.
OOC: played Highway Robber, Life should now be at 18 Dodaer should have taken 2 points of damage from the Highway Robber, and 1 point from the Thrull.

OOC: Dawn Charm only stops spells targeting the controller of the charm... so unless he has Lapse of Certainty or Mana Tithe, I don't see him having much of a say in this. And in the case of Lapse of Certainty... it only delays the innevidable but of course you are correct, we should wait and see if he has any responses to either spell...

Nearby, a section of swamp began to bubble up from the arena floor, seemingly hiding something from view. Meanwhile, Dodaer summons a different kind of shadow. This shadow occasional popped out of the arena floor with an eerie green glow surrounding it. As it shakes off the effects of its summoning, Dodaer attempts to examine any possible wound he might have received.
Agnolo flexed slightly, and then ripped a hole in the Aether. From that gap, a hugely armored man stepped forth Agnolo nodded to his companion. "If we can keep the heat on them, we may have a chance."
Tilia frowns at the sight of the Daru Warchief. She knows that if she is to have any chance of beating both of these mages, she needs to act swiftly, getting her offensive capabilities up as swiftly as possible. However she isn't sure that there is much they can do at this point.
She calls another pool of black ichor to herself, it settling just in front of her. She then calls a summoning circle which she uses to bring forth a Thrull to defend herself. She then raises her dagger, sends some black energy into it, and slashes downwards in the direction of the Daru Warchief.
OOC: I have some more to do this turn, just waiting on responses...
Roger conjured another silvery orb. It joined the orbiting spheres and glowed with power. Then, torrenting a huge flood of mana Roger explode an even larger blast of pure darkness at the boros mage. Roger just laughed as he drew in the energy.
Roger, who was laughing all the while, plunged his hands into the earth. From his hand emanated a slow moving tendril of evil. A darkness so black it seemed to pull the ground into it.

As the thrull pulls away from Dodaer, Agnolo grunts. "Not so fast, you." He said, as the mighty axe swiped, and split it in two.
