Larzander appeared to be confused by the creatures that were attacking the group. As he swung his sword at the newest threat he did his best just to maintain grip on his weapon..


14:25, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 3 using 1d20+2.  Attack nearest snake creature.
14:24, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 6 using 1d20+4.  save vs spells.

Yeah! rolled a 1 and a 2, that has to be some sort of record...

OOC: Wow...that is some rough rolling

Boris...all three of your compatriots have frozen in place, glazed, vacant expressions washing over their faces.  Any posture of defense is forgotten as they begin to lower their weapons.  Slowly, they start to sway to the same macabre rhythm as the twisted bone creatures.

Ondrea, Stoney, and Larz all stand frozen in place, weaving from side to side, mirroring the strange movements of the creatures.  Seizing the opportunity they silently slither forward towards the group.  One of the them manages to reach Stoney and, rearing back, flies forward and sinks its' teeth into his shoulder.  Before the other can strike, Boris slides around to the side of it and chips several pieces of bone from the creature, bringing its attention fully around to him.  It lashes out at him savagely but he manages to avoid its' bite.

OOC: This round both Ondrea and Larz are now able to move again.  Stoney...you take 3 points of damage from the bite and I need yet another save vs. spells.

Ondrea blinks several times and then sees the bone snake again. She swings her hammer towards it with as much might as she can muster.

Ondrea Avalor rolled 16 using 1d20+6.  Attack previous snake.
 Ondrea Avalor rolled 13 using 1d20+10.  Damage.

"Ha! Slither back to your master in Hell, foul demon-creature!

The sword seemed to have caused some damage, a solid strike.

At least one of them seemed to be distracted by him. Shield in one hand he darted in again to slash at the place where the skull joined the neck. This time he wasn't as lucky and the short sword slid off the slick, hard bone.

Being frozen in place angered the barbarian warrior beyond the boiling point.  Letting out his primal battle cry the barbarian went into full beast mode on the nearest snake creature.

09:32, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 10 using 1d20+3.  attack snake.
09:33, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 15 using 3d6+6.  damage 1.

09:32, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 14 using 1d20+3.  second attack.
09:33, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 21 using 3d6+6.  damage 2.

As Boris' blade is deflected off the slick, pearl white bone, Larz snaps to and begins swinging wildly.  In his anger, however, he failed to study his opponent and the creature dances around the enraged warriors' weapon.  Recovering herself, Ondrea spies the second creature just as it strikes poor Stoney.  Her strike is true, sending shards of rib like shrapnel through the air; the creatures back was nearly broken and it released its' grip upon Stoney.  Turning to face Ondrea, it reared up to its full height.  Stoney didn't budge...not a single muscle flinched as the monster withdrew it's gleaming fangs.

Sweeping slightly to the left and moving her leg as well she spring forward and hitting the snake with he hammer's head before bring it back for a second hit. She ends up favoring her right leg as she straightens up again her weapon to the front.

She glances to Stoney quickly to see if there is any movement.

Moving around, Boris intended to finish off the creature facing Ondrea. Once it was dead, or dead-er, he could drag Stoney out of there. Boris timed his strike with Ondrea's attacks and moved around so that he was hacking at its spine from the rear.

Boris swung his blade up and then around, sword biting into bleached bone!

02:31, Today: Boris Underhill rolled 4 using 1d6.  Damage.
02:30, Today: Boris Underhill rolled 19 using 1d20.  To-hit THAC0 20.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 72):

Seeing the snake creature attack his friend only served to enrage the barbarian further. He screamed out in anger and rushed to strike the thing with his two-handed sword. This time his strike was true, no amount of dancing or magic would allow the serpent to escape Larz wrath.

10:15, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 23 using 1d20+3.  attack skeleton snake.
10:17, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 15 using 3d6+6.  Damage.

About time the barbarian carried his weight!!! Figures a critical hit on a snake...I hate snakes, especially dead ones...

As all three of you strike the bony serpent, it shatters into scores of pieces, sending debris and clouds of dust throughout the tiny enclosure.  The remaining horror slinks back slightly, eyeing the group, and makes a half-hearted lunge at Boris, snapping at the air wildly.  Pulling back, it rears upwards to a height at least a foot taller than the group.  It's hollow, empty eyes seem to gauge who among the group would be next.  Alas, poor Stoney remains silent, frozen in place with the same look of terror and dread that gripped him when first bitten.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 74):

"Take care of the other one, I'll get Stoney out of there!"

Having done his part to destroy the beast threatening Stoney, Boris darted in and grabbed Stoney 1-handed by the tunic and commenced dragging him back behind his comrades. Hopefully out of danger!

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 74):

Sure pick on the Gnome.  At least Boris is there to protect me.
"Boris is my saviour!"

Putting her shoulders and waist into it Ondrea makes an up swing at the beast and steps into the action to give her strike even more power. She does not have a chance to thank Boris for his act but mentally does so as she connects with the last monster.

Ondrea Avalor rolled 22 using 1d20+6.  Attack
Ondrea Avalor rolled 19 using 1d10+10.  Damage with correct die.

Having little time to celebrate his victory, Larzander swung wild at the remaining beast trying his best not to lose the grip on his weapon.


16:08, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 4 using 1d20+3.  attack 1.
16:08, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 10 using 1d20+3.  attack 2.
 figures...damn dice roller, goes from crit to fumble in one roll...

As Boris grabs Stoney, he nearly falls over as Stoney is more like a statue.  His body remains in the same position...arms, legs, fingers...never a muscle flinching as he is pulled away from the battle.

Larz swings for the bleachers but the creature had kept an eye on him and it easily slide to the side.  This move, fortunately, put it directly into the path of Ondreas' attack and the strike lands clean and true.  The creature snaps in two with yet another shower of bone and dust.  Both halves collapse to the ground with the back half no longer moving whatsoever.  The front section, possessing the head, was still moving about but lacked any real mobility and more resembled a floundering fish pulled up on the docks.

Spiting out pieces of dust from her mouth Ondrea raises he hammer again to bring it down on the creatures head as it flopped around on the ground. She gritted her teeth for the hit and shock reverberating along her hammers grip.


Ondrea Avalor rolled 25 using 1d20+6.  Attack.

"Thank the Lord!" He crossed himself using the religious symbol he carried around his neck. It was of a crucified man, all in gold.

"Is Stoney going to be all right? He seems stiff and paralysed. Like in a trance!"

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 81):

Taking a deep breath the barbarian warrior took a few seconds to calm himself. He turned to face Ondrea and smiled. "You fought well." he said before turning to see how Stoney was. Larz walked over and knelt next to his friend.

"He doesn't look well." he commented looking over the man's wounds, and bandaging what he could. "That thing, whatever it was poisoned him by the looks of it. Hopefully the alcohol in his blood has diluted the poison enough it won't be fatal."

OOC: Bound his wounds and try and make Stony as comfortable as possible..

Brushing more bone fragments and dust from her hair Ondrea also spits the dust from her mouth. She then brushes off her clothes before realising something is wrong with their resident priest.
"Perhaps he is merely stunned and will come around in time ? She checks for his heart beat and if he is still breathing."

OOC: I could have sworn I responded to this days ago but I must have been half asleep and forgot to post it....or did it just simply disappear from my feed?  I'm not seeing it but it looks like you guys are responding to it.

In reply to Ondrea Avalor (msg # 83):

Boris looked doubtful. His rigidity seemed to argue against simple shock. Obviously there was some foul magick happening!

"I hope he'll come out of whatever fugue he's in. Not much we can do about it, anyways."

He dragged Stoney back to the fire. "Let's keep him warm. See if he's alive by morning, eh?

"Anyone know what those were? Demons or imps?"

OOC: So, any plans for what is left of your evening?

Probably just resume our watch schedule and start off in the morning again if no one has anything to add ?
