Order of battle:

The 3rd minute of battle with NXLA...

Drago senses 2 rifts opening nearby to the south...and to the north!



 ...then

Radio messages go back and forth:

Ban Gunter of Guntersville Armed Forces is radioed by
Elder Bo: "rescue me!  im in the jet!  "
Ban: "I'm sorry sir by my ground forces are still 5 minutes out youll have to hold off for at least 3 until we can setup artillery and get our spotters in the field, until then all I can offer is air support from the 1st fighter squadron.  Also tell your pilot we got some of his soldiers with us."


LT Misty Gunter to Ban Gunter offering air support to Sparticus "seem that bombers in a bind, we didn't finish it on our first missile run by, out of missiles but we still got 20mm rounds in our auto cannons so giving you air support in 15"

drago loots while nxlas rift to his home dimention treasure wavers open only for 120 seconds, this is written by the player of Drago:
"

After the last locust leaves Drago seizes the opportunity to start cashing in on the the virtually defenseless loot (since he teleports at will).

Omniscient Drago is currently imbued with:

- Clairvoyance

- Object Read

- Presence Sense

- Sense Magic

- Sense Evil

- & more psionic abilities & powers

Drago picks the most powerful radiations (greatest rune level?) of non-evil magic in the mountain of epic loot then scoops two magic nets' worth (6 people can fit inside each net) of the most potent magic items w/random other non-evil loot in the bag and take the 1st huge haul to Huntersville. (roughly 3 seconds to scan, 3 seconds to scoop, and 3 seconds to teleport out = roughly 9 seconds)

Scooping up the pile that radiates the strongest drago drops this at Sparticus's base in Huntsvill.
