Ginko bursts into action when the creature vanishes. Unlikely as it was that even one as quick as he could strike at the imp before it moved away there was at least the off chance that a broader attack might still be effective. The pixie silently wonders to himself if it takes any sort of concentration to stay invisible.

OOC: Move and attack, fly to range 1 of where the imp vanished and Kiai.

This was a legal maneuver in another game and didn't suffer penalties for move an attack as kiai is HT based so DX penalties don't apply. It might have been a house ruling or some such. Let me know if there are any issues or just apply whatever penalties you feel appropriate.

18:26, Today: Ginko Bitterpetal rolled 13 using 3d6.  Kiai - 13.

In reply to Ginko Bitterpetal (msg # 389):

the imp, who you can roughly see by its shadow on the ground, appears to have resisted the Kai, and made a rude gesture!

In reply to imp (msg # 390):

Can Hograth see him? [Private to GM: Rolled 1 under perception...]

Can Urrun smell him? He keys in on the little creature and tries to bite it ... snapping at where he smells it

[Private to GM:  20:23, Today: Urrun rolled 5 using 3d6.  Smell.  that is a Crit !! Skill is 15
20:25, Today: Urrun rolled 4 using 3d6.  Bite.   Ouch!!  Skill is 14
20:26, Today: Urrun rolled 6  Cutting using 1d6+3.  Bite damage. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 392):

a foul taste erupts in the Bouda's mouth, as he bites down into something he can smell, but not see- a dead miniature devil danfmgles from his jaw, and horrible ichor runs down his neck, and into his mouth!

He gags and drops the thing from his mouth, then spits and tries to rinse his mouth with his water jug... spluttering he manages like rotten egg and Hot pepper... he spits some more and tries to wash the ichor off of himself.


[Private to GM: I have been told rotten egg has a vaguely sulperous taste, but had no interest in confirming it. Thanks for letting Urrun do a stupid.]

no string of crits goes unpunished or unrewarded.

you have a new ability- Demon Sniffer [10] can detect demonic taint by sense of smell

In reply to Narrator (msg # 395):

as the rest of you continue your exorcisms, the reddish light flickers and fades away. The area is free from demonic taint, but needs to be reattenuated. several pixies fly toward the stones, alerting  Ginko.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 396):

Melchizedek is tired from the exorcism. There should be no more coming through?

Ginko meets the approaching pixies in the air and greets them. He was not following the proceedings here very well but could feel the change as the taint recedes.

Stenet pauses as the pixies arrive, "Let me know when the runesmiths say the gate is properly realigned, or at least unaligned with Hell."

Stenet then returns to committing exorcism on the area.

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 399):

several pixies fall to work at the carvings on  the stones with tiny orichalcum tools.  the exorcisms seem to have do e the job! now to get this ley line nexus back in order..

In reply to Pixie (msg # 400):

So Melchizadek will wait to hear from the new arrivals that the job is done before moving on...probably by starting with a rousing song to Sense Foes...

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under skill to sense foes, spell has a song component, once he is confident the gate is not prone to further demonic entry]

Stenet stops chanting, and takes a long drink.

"This is done.  Urrun, any trails lead away from here that we need to check out?"

Maybe ask Pixy... they see from up.

"Because they are of the Fae.  I don't trust them."

He shrugs and sniffs around

[Private to GM: 17:22, Today: Urrun rolled 10 using 3d6.  Smelling. made by 5.]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 405):

the stink of the imp is strong, but there is something else that Urrun catches a whiff of, further east from this place; sour milk and hot sulphur.

Phew!  something there   He points East.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 407):

Hograth moves in the direction pointed.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 408):

Does Melchizadek need to recover after the Exorcism?

In reply to Melchizidek (msg # 409):

it doesn't quite cost fatigue, so on you go.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 410):

He is still 6/13 fp, so pretty tired, he still asks for a break while others track this critter.

OOC:  Why don't we all take 10, let Mel get back to full, then recon in force?

In reply to Stenet Fjall (msg # 412):

once recovered...
