Re: Chapter

"They got too close!" He steps aside for a moment, preparing to attack at full power. Lightning and blood mingle on the blade once more.

Re: Chapter

Finding herself free Tanzy is more than happy to turn her attention to the bear. She needed a moment to recover her wits after what she'd just seen the witch woman do anyway. Whipping one of her rapiers out Tanzy can't help but wish she had her fighting clubs handy. She didn't especially want to harm Stefan, knowing he was obviously not acting on his own will. That said she didn't know the man particularly well so her guilt was minimal. Once the bear has his full attention on Raknesh she will attack from behind.



Attack: Tanzy rolled 21 using 1d20+12.
Damage: Tanzy rolled 16 using 3d6. sneak attack.

Re: Chapter

Tanzy's attack hits Stefan across the flank. The wound is not enough to stop him, but it will be something he will be unhappy about later....

Raknesh's attack misses, but it does not go unnoticed. The woman is glaring balefully at all of you as her wicked chanting blade slices through the air. She attacks Loden quite successfully, and he reels in pain and fear as she continues forward, her eyes on Prizzard and Raknesh in particular. She moves toward Prizzard, her blade getting louder in it's shrieks, and as she does so she calls out to Stefan. I'm alright here Stefan. Go and find the boy and bring him to me unharmed!
She then begins to chant in a strange language,though it is quiet and almost to herself, as though she is only half paying attention to herself.


ooc: Two more rounds please! Also, if you know knowledge arcane or knowledge religion, etc, you can roll a check for that too

Re: Chapter

Prizzard delivers a direct blow that sprays current and blood in a small burst, then follows up with a somewhat-slower attack. The use of the bloody blade is obviously draining, and this time it doesn't seem to be ending after each hit. A keen observer may note that his own blood is flowing from his wrists to the blade.

Re: Chapter

Raknesh sees too late Tanzy's move.
"Don't hurt him! It's a waste of time ! It's her we need to hurt."

But the woman's order do make him regret it:
"Stay between him and Halek : Don't let him get close"

Glaring at the woman, he takes a step to be out of the bear's reach and launch another couple of minblade

r1:
5 ft step out of reach
move: charges mindblade (psychic strike)
standard: throws mindblade ATT 27 DMG 10

r2:
5 ft step out of reach (but between Halek and Stefan if possible)
move: charges mindblade (psychic strike)
standard: throws mindblade  AT 22, DMG 19

Re: Chapter

The bear that is Stefan roars as he spins for the door, ignoring tables as he simply barrels his way towards the door. Making his way out if the in. And to the street beyond

so nit sure how long it takes me to get out, speed is 40 now and an inn common room is not designed for bears to navigate. if i get out he is looking anout for halek, and uf he is right outside attempting to grapple. ignoring Tanzy at tue moment.

Re: Chapter

Tanzy follows after the bear. "If you can hear me Halek, you'd better hide! There is a bear coming for you!" She shouts a warning, not caring if anyone hears it. She holds back on her attacks for now waiting to see if Stefan actually finds the boy or not.

Re: Chapter

Raknesh and Prizzard seem to be hitting the woman consistently with their attacks and she screeches in pain and fury. You can see panic in her eyes though and she surges forward, her hands outstretched as she mutters a spell under her breath. She seems to be directing it at Prizzard in particular

Meanwhile, to everyone's surprise, Jett suddenly appears as if out of no where. He collapses on the floor, seemingly covered in acid burns and shaking uncontrollably. You also all start to hear disconcerting moans from outside, nearing the tavern. Several screams quickly follow. Something is coming....

Tanzy and Stefan:  The bear seems hell bent on his quarry and moves fast outside, Tanzy following.

You find yourselves quickly outside and you see pandemonium all about you. There are dozens of zombies lurching their way up the road and the frightened villagers are fleeing in horror. Halek is right outside the doorway but he obviously heard Tanzy's warning for he's attempting to run away. The bear is the faster of the two though, and will soon overtake him...

ooc: Next round please!

Re: Chapter

Hoping that Tanzy will be able to hold Stefan back until he is freed from the spell, Raknesh does his best to concentrate on his own predicament.

It is with great relief that he sees Jett reappearing, hurt but alive. With renewed hope, he, once again,  materializes his deadly blade before throwing it at the dangerous woman.

But this time is aim is a little off, his worry about Halek affecting his concentration, which is a crucial weakness with his combat style.

Shrugging off the spell, Prizzard nearly manages a blow that would be fatal to any mortal, but is slightly off the mark. This time, the blood ceases to pour from his weapon.

Re: Chapter

"We have more trouble coming up the road!" Tanzy shouts over her shoulder, hoping to warn the others still inside. Instinctively she whips out her second rapier. Turning her attention to the bear and Halek she charges after them, knowing full well the bear would reach the boy before she could. One was for sure, if Stefan wanted to take Halek back to the woman he'd have to get through Tanzy first. Which probably won't be that hard she thought with a grim frown.

Re: Chapter

Raknesh and Prizzard: The woman hisses at the wounds she receives from Prizzard, which she seems very surprised by. She feels the attack from Loden as well, for he comes up behind her and slashes across her back. If she were a mere mortal she would be dead by now, though she is clearly not doing well. Fools! You will be dead soon enough! I have more important matters than you! And with that she is instantly vanished, teleporting herself away.

Across the room, Jett stands shakily, looking weak but still alive. That- was very unpleasant. He says drily.

Stefan: Just as you are about to grab Halek in your teeth, you feel yourself momentarily freed from the dark presence that has been motivating you. You stop in surprise at your actions, though you can feel the thing twisting inside you, trying to regain control again. Apparently the woman still thinks you are her minion for a moment later you hear her thoughts in your mind, though she is nowhere to be seen.

Tanzy: Stefan hesitates suddenly, to your surprise. Halek too is shocked, but he doesn't wait around to see how long this new good luck will last. If given the opportunity, he will run away still. What's more pressing at the moment is the oncoming horde of the dead that are getting dangerously close. The townspeople flee in terror, and not everyone has managed to escape alive....

Re: Chapter

Using Stefans hesitation Tanzy will try to position herself between the bear and the boy. "Run to the back of the inn amd hide,"Tanzy orders Halek. "Try to keep it between yourself and those...things," she gestures at the zombies with her rapiers. "Stefan?" Tanzy looks at the bear doubtfully. "You are not yourself." Remembering the bundle the cleric gave them she nods towards the inn. "Why don't we go back inside?" Despite the approaching danger of the zombie people she will keep herself between the bear and the boy as best she can.

Re: Chapter

He walks over to pick up what's left of his bottle of strawberry wine while gesturing and speaking. "This is why I don't believe in gods! That woman was supposed to be a demigod and we are all still alive." He proceeds to sip at the bottles contents before pushing the cork halfway in.

Re: Chapter

Stefan's head snaps up at Tanzy's words, his head shaking vigorously  and holding a paw in front of Halek.  The bear looks into the boys eyes with his own unclouded by the pressence that was in them, trying to communicate in a glance the danger the boy had from that direction.  he instead pointed away, to a stable looking building before giving a slight bear grin to the boy and girl.  Then his hackles raised as he roared a challenge and charged the oncoming horrors.

Re: Chapter

Not quite certain the dark lady has really retreated, Raknesh quickly moves outside to check on Halek and the others.

Thankfully, the bewitching had stopped with the departure of their enemy, as he hoped it would.  But the relief is short lived once he spots the undeads swarming the area.

He will quickly move to keep halek protected and ready himself to launch another attack.

Re: Chapter

Pocketing the bottle, he moves to see the scene outside "It looks like we stand this time." After a pair of spells, he starts to follow the bear, looking for a corner to put his own back to.

Re: Chapter

The zombies are fortunately slow to reach you, so any preparations you need are easily made. Halek seems to welcome Raknesh's presence and points toward Stefan. He's back to himself for the moment! He informs you. We've got to help him!

In the meantime you see there are roughly 20 zombies or so scattered in the streets. They seem to be distracted enough by terrified villagers that they aren't all attacking you at once. Generally only a couple reach each of you at one time, so at least thus far you are not being overwhelmed. Jett, shaky as he is, moves to help you, but you get the feeling this may not be a good idea for him....

ooc: Ok, roll the next three rounds please and keep me posted on your current hit points and AC if you haven't already.

Re: Chapter

Knowing part of his powers are useless against mindless being, Raknesh doesn't lose time empowering his mind blade. Instead he launches the materialized blade as soon as they come in existence.

Re: Chapter

"I have the bundle that priest gave us," Tanzy told Halek, "Though I don't think we will be able to get that evil thing out of Stefan while he's in bear form chomping on undead..." That said the thief moved towards the nearest undead and began slicing with her rapiers.

Re: Chapter

In spite of the wild fight you have just survived, the zombies  are seeming not to be too much of a challenge, though some of you do take some wounds in the process and it would seem that the simple village folk were not prepared for such an attack. There have been many casualties already. By now there are only a few zombies left between all of your efforts, though Jett has passed out and looks close to death from all of his wounds. It will take short work to finish the rest, but as you finish mopping up you all see a flash of red light, so bright it almost burns your eyes. It has come from the woods outside of the village. Halek turns pale as he looks. It is Rallia. I know it. She's regrouping already. We've got to get out of here. Now.   He turns to Tanzy. We need to go find someplace to exorcise Stefan too. Before he gets taken over again.

ooc: Tanzy take 4 damage, Prizzard take 3 please.
