In reply to Hetilda Yurick (msg # 406):

Hettie gets a good look at it before it walks out of line of sight from the gate, and given its cold aura, its willfulness and hatred, she deems it to be a wight, and knows that they are very hearty and can suck the very liffe out of you.

"У нас есть себе Уайт, блуждающий по внешнему коридору. Они чрезвычайно опасны и злобны... Мы должны уничтожить его."

"Mother says it's a wight, and they are very dangerous. We're going to have to get rid of it obviously...If we can immobilize it, she can throw bolts at it all day long until it's a pile of bones."

"Well, He's outside the gate. We have something moving on the other side of this door, too."

"Listen..I'm afraid this isn't something we can go toe-to-toe with. We have some magic, which is good...But we may need to really prepare for this fight."

In reply to Kazimir Yurick (msg # 411):

"I can do the same with balls of Ice too..."

Aldous draws his larger knife and presses his ear to the door.

[Private to GM: 15:12, Today: Aldous Hack rolled 9 using 3d6.  Per (12) to listen at door.]

"Let's hope this way doesn't let in ugly, out there..."

In reply to Nana Yurick (msg # 414):

Since the creature has stepped back, Aine steps up to the bars so that at least she does not have to send her missile through there from a distance, before sending the sphere on it's way, ready to jump back away if the creature came forward.

She tries to evaluate how much damage she was doing...

[Private to GM: Rolled 6 under skill to hit, so should overcome range penalty of -5, 4 cr damage.]

Hetilda moves to face the gate, but stands away from the bars. She looks for the tell-tale eyes of the wight.

In reply to Aine Walsh (msg # 415):

While rewarded with a crunching sound, the iceball appears to further agitate the wight.

It moves away into the darkness.


Meanwhile, the rasping sound is louder by the door Adolus has unlocked.

"No Soy Nadie..." Kazimir muses.
"They must be a foreigner here, like us...but from another land. I wonder from where.."

In reply to Kazimir Yurick (msg # 418):

Aine will hold her bright staff out as she moves closer to Adolus, creating another ball of Ice!

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under skill, Icy Sphere, cast...]

"Don' pop off t' quick, Aine.  Dunno whut's here yet."

Aldous looks toward the rest of the group, just a few steps away.  He puts his lantern on the step where it will shine through as soon as the door opens, then uses his left hand to press the latch and pull the door open, his right hand holding the knife low and relaxed.

Sven flanks the door on the left, with his net ready.

Nana stays near her mother, who have moved back towards the entrance where they can see the whole room.

Kazimir stands back from the door, kite shield and longsword ready.

As the door is yanked open, Adolus can see that there is something on the floor, a broken body, which lunges forward from a prone positiong and grabs at his ankle!


Dodge, parry or take 3 pts before DR to the foot

He looks for a place to fight whatever amongst the crowd near the door and stands ready, shield up and spear ready.  When the door is opened and the zombie revealed, he makes an all out determined attack against the creatures head with his spear.

[Private to GM:  12:50, Today: Thorg rolled 10 using 3d6.  Spear Thrust.  Skill =13 =4 AoA -5 Called shot to head; made by 2
12:51, Today: Thorg rolled 6 impaling using 1d6+4.  Spear Thrust Damage.  Target is -3  to defense for being prone IIRC ]

16:46, Today: Svendegard Yurick rolled 12 using 3d6.  kick (brawling -2, 11 or less).

Sven attempts to kick the thing, but just misses!
*Huff*

16:54, Today: Kazimir Yurick rolled 8 using 1d6+3.  swing, cutting damage to arm.

16:52, Today: Kazimir Yurick rolled 8 using 3d6.  broadsword ~ 13 (targeting arm -2, 11 or less).
Kazimir attempts to aid Aldous, by hacking at the very arm, grasping at him!
*Schwing!*

In reply to Kazimir Yurick (msg # 427):

Aine notes there are plenty of folk to deal with the crawling dead, and uses her light and he icy sphere to ensure the more dangerous creature does not return...

Aldous makes a sloppy parry against the grasping arm, then a half-hearted slash at the creature on the ground before hastily backing down the step.

[Private to GM: 06:37, Today: Aldous Hack rolled 10 using 3d6.  Parry (Knife) (9).  Blessing of St. Pyr makes that a success (barely).
06:40, Today: Aldous Hack rolled 13 using 3d6.  Knife, roll to hit (14) .
06:41, Today: Aldous Hack rolled 0 using 1d6-1.  Damage (cutting).]

In reply to Aldous Hack (msg # 429):

As cutting weapons do a minimum of one point, Adolus injures it twice; on the parry and on the attack. Its hand is mangled and it seems even worse off, but is still coming.

OOC:What about my attack? Didn't I just lop off it's arm? I think it just got a spear run through it's head, too... lol
