"Assist Hrrd"


Seeing the giant dragon take down Erdath's supersized form,
Gawaine acts with the speed of the seasoned fighter he is,
and pushes Audi out of the way, making the young Afridhi tumble over the piles of corpses,
and towards where Harwan has retreated...

Then, the knight raises his sword and runs against Black Wing, attacking the
undead dragon's back legs...

Ungulian's sword?


Ungulian's black sword still rests in the baron bone-fingered hand.
Sven immediately understands that it must also be one of those soulforged weapons,
and that touching it will maybe expose his own mind to the spirit that rests within
the blue gemstone that adornates the hilt.

Sven will realize the gem is of the same color Ungulian's crystal heart was.

"That's all I've got"


Tolleen will administer the last four healing potions to her friends...

[Sven will recover 10 HP, Karl will recover 25 HP.]

I assume that Tolleen and Karl leave while Sven keeps pondering over whether or not to take up
Ungulian's sword.


...As you enter the temple of Zugzul again, you realise your way through has been cut:#

The six stone golems have freed themselves from Karl's spell,
and are picking up their weapons, as you enter...

Now they are six against two...

"Wizards are not supposed to fight a dragon one on one, but so far it isn't going too bad. Hell I'm still alive. I need to stick to what I am good at."


It is easy for Erdath to trick the clumsy undead and gain some distance as a falcon...

It is even easier for him to transform back into human form, as Black Dragon turns
to treat Gawaine, and to launch a rain of lightning on the creature...

Yet, though the dragon's flesh is burned away like dry grass, and the lightnings dance on the undead's bones, Erdath doesn't feel like if he would do anything to damage
his opponent...

Harwan lifts his blade, Grief...


NO!

Suddenly, the Maiden is on Harwan, clawing for him with her translucent fingers,
and shooting small arrows of energy against him...

The first one is deflected by Grief, but the second one hits the soldier on the shoulder and pushes him against the wall... [4 DAM]

The Maiden would continue to attack Harwan more, but then Audi tumbles into the scene and
Hrrd crashes onto the Well...

Which spell? - Not sure I understood this the right way.

RizaktheReallyHorrible wrote:
"I am as Heimdall. Surely as he is set to protect the Bifrost Bridge against the giants attacking Asgard, so surely am I to stop the powers of Hel from taking Midgard."


Without giving it a further thought, Hrrd pushes himself away from the wall,
his giant warhammer high over his furry head, and, like a rock shot by a catapult,
lands the hammerhead on the yellow rune...

AND THE RUNE BREAKS.

For a moment, all creatures borrowing their power from the Well of Souls,
the Maiden, the dragon, and the stone warriors stop in their movement...

Green foam disperses from their bodies as they stand like petrified, for just the opening and
the closing of an eyelid...

Then, the chaos is all back on you, the Maiden howling wildly and rushing
through the smoky air towards the bearman,
magic fire burning in her hands...

Sven willl leave Ungulian's sword where it fell, thinking we can destroy it later, and dashes after Tolleen and Karl. Seeing the golems, he will pick the nearest and charge it trying to do a shield bash, to knock it over.

[ooc: I rememeber someone saying the golems were a distraction, so I want to adjust my post.]

As Sven charges he recalls hearing someone say that the golems were a distraction, so he will think Maroon, let's fly over the golems and get on to where the real enemries are.

Dirken smiles apon seeing Zuki while hangning upside down.

Having fun yet? Reaching out with his good hand he lets Zuki help hime get down.

Thanks Bobby! as he waves... then once again notices has hand is missing. Pain rushes back and he falls back into a sitting position. I've got to stop this bleeding, I think its making me woosy...

As soon as he sees the stone golems in trouble, Karl grips his staff and rushes the closest golem to him, trying to knock it down.

Erdath begins casting again as he activates his rod of empower, two bolts of energy streak from his hand towards Black Wing. (Magic Missile 2d4+2 x 1.5)

Uh oh.

That got their attention.

He sees the ghostly form approaching, but his work is not done. He will attack the next fiery rune and see if that helps to diminish anyone's lust for the fight.

[OOC]

The spell he was going to drop was spider climb, but I guess he doesn't need to actually do that.

[/OOC]

Harwan will see if his sword can help destroy those runes. Looks like Hrrd is onto something here, so Harwan might as well assist him.

Havard

At the balcony:

wyzman wrote:

Zuki will not answer, but immediately pull Dirken over the balustrade.

Seeing the serious condition the thief is in, he will take two vials with red liquid from his
bagpack and quickly administer them to Dirken.

"You now better stay out of brave bullshit like this, my friend!
Those were my last ones!"

[Dirken will regain 18 HP, and the cut through the arm will begin to scar and stops bleeding.]

Bobby will examine Dirken's wound on the left arm.

"Your hand might not be lost forever! If we can get uncle Hrrd to find it,
he can fix it on you again, I am sure."

Waiting for like a minute until the potions of healing have taken their full effect,
Zuki will then pull Dirken up to his feet again.

"Man, we must move! Our friends inside are loosing the fight!
There's another dragon, you hear me! ANOTHER DRAGON!"

As described in part earlier, the room behind the balcony is full of
shattered glass from the broken window. A beheaded Westryn lies on the foot to
a stairway that leads to the level above, and on the opposite of the room
from your position, another balcony opens the view to the throne room,
where Hrrd, Erdath and Harwan are fighting.
Dirken sees the flashes of their magic fire, and hears the sounds of battle.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in the entrance room, Karl and Sven engage the golems into a new, fierce brawl...

Though they fight bravely, they deal virtually no harm to the animated statues,
while they can, however, hinder the golems to wound one of the party or to advance
any further...

Then, however, one of the golems cuts Karl quarterstaff in two,
leaving Sven the with only useful weapon...

gsvenson wrote:
Maroon, let's fly over the golems and get on to where the real enemries are.


This wouldn't be a problem, though, with Maroon theoretically being the only weapon
who can damage the golems, Sven would leave Karl and Tolleen virtually defenseles...

So, protecting your friends, or facing the Maiden, how do you decide?

havard wrote:

The people and, more importantly, the monstrosities around him apparently oblivious of him,
Harwan can get to the strange magic ring without being attacked.
There he tries to destroy of of the gemstone runes by hitting with the sword,
but since he is so much weaker than Hrrd, it doesn't function.

Striking the runes with your sword proabably won't lead to the expected result... Maybe try something else...

RizaktheReallyHorrible wrote:

Before the hammer can crush the next rune, the Maiden is on Hrrd,
magic rays of fire engulfing the bearman, and, if doing nothing else [3 DAM],
managing to bring him out of balance, and making him momentarily back away from
the Well...

Apparently sure that Hrrd can not harm her, the ghost continues to attack him
with the same fire spell, burning the fur away from the Ursai's ears.
[4 DAM, - 5 on listen checks for the next three rounds]

MORTAL BEING, BOW OR BE DESTROYED!!!

Within sight of the Well of Souls, Erdath and Gawaine fight a seemingly hopeless battle:
The valiant knight of Glendower stands alone against the zombie dragon, his only
advantage over the fearsome beast his quickness and better dexterity.

Gawaine circles around Black Wing, trying to stay away from the dragon's claws
while at the same time keeping the monster's attention on him as long as Erdath might need
to prepare a more efficent spell...

But when Erdath launches his bolts against the dragon, again, he doesn't seem
to do more than set the remnants od the dragon's flesh on fire and slow the dragon down...

The cold, ivory bones of the creature withstand the magic lightnings without
showing any signs of visible damage...

Erdath will well know that as soon as he stops shooting his magic at Black Wing,
the dragon would likely crush all of them...

Erdath has an idea and begins casting again. He calls out to Gawaine, "once the spell hits him, do not attack unless he keeps moving." He once again calls upon Aero's for strength. He begins casting and green and black wisps of magic begin to form around his hands. The intense concentration is visible upon his face. He finally completes the spell and waits for just the right moment. He waits for Black Wing to open his mouth and as he does Erdath releases the energy towards Black Wing. (Halt Undead, for the next 5 rounds Black Wing is held. If the Maiden is within 30' she gets a saving throw or she is held as well.)

MUMBLEMUMBLE, MUMBLEMUMBLEMUMBLE!!!

If only Hrrd could hear her threat it might mean something to him.

It may be a more reflexive action than an actual attack, but he swings his heavy war club at the Maiden with no thought of defense. He has seen nothing else damage her, but he is not one to show that he is afraid. He will go back to cracking the seals on the Well in a minute but he wants to show this creature that he will not be cowed.

Tolleen calls out to her companions "on to the throne room!" and Tumbles [+4] past the golems, heading towards the throne room...

Des - see PM.

Dirken nods to Zuki. Seems im still in the fight, I've more body parts to lose... lets finish this. Come Bobby. Seems we face death once again this day.

Dirken then grabs another green ball off his person and advances towards the throne room trying to see where he is needed most.

Seeing Karl & Tolleen move past the golems and being terribly slow in his armor, Sven goes ahead with his plan to caste a levitate spell on himself to get past the golems and on to get to the next room faster.

From above, Dirken, Zuki, and Bobby will get a clean overview of the situation...

The little bearman is, however, the first to act, jumping on the fence of the inner balcony.

"The Wellstone is not here! We either need to go back and get him,
or find another way to destroy the Well!"

Bobby will quickly begin to climb down, using his climbing gear to break steps into the wall...

Maroon is eager to fight this time, or so it seems...

Faster than he can think, Sven finds himself two rooms away from the golems,
in the giant throne room, down on his knees and sweating from the flight...

To his left, Erdath and the dragon.
To his right, Hrrd, the Well and the Maiden.

Sheridan wrote:
"on to the throne room!"


With a brave roll forward, Tolleen dives down under the legs of the stone statues,
and rush forward ...

tarlyn wrote:

But Karl is too slow this time... Naturally quicker than the female monk,
but exhausted after the intense fighting he has already gone through,
he stumbles and narrowly evades being cut in half by the last hyena-headed golem...

Unarmed, Karl would have to face all the six golems alone...

Hrrd's good Mjolnir divides the Maiden's ectoplasmic form,
running through her transparent body like butter...

For a moment, the ghost seems outright baffled.
Then the Maiden's face is twisted by a broad and completely lunatic grin,
as her cut body begins to grow together again...

While not harming the ghost, Hrrd hs at least stopped her attack for the moment,
and consequently might act freely for a few seconds...

djaykix wrote:
"once the spell hits him, do not attack unless he keeps moving."







This spell has no visual element, so for an anxious heartbeat, Erdath isn't sure if the magic
has
had any effect...

One more time, the dragon's giants jaws snap for Gawaine...

And then freeze.

Erdath's legs shake after the spell, and for a moment, his sight is on the verge of blackening...

Then, a moment later, he finds himself held by Audi, the young Afridhi all exited:

"You have stopped the dragon, Erdath! You have stopped it!"

Black Wing's undead form shines in a strange silver light...
It stands still and bare an motion, like a statue...

At the same time, Gawaine shouts to the rest of the party in the throneroom:

"I'll go back and check for Tolleen and Karl!"

A moment after the knight has disappeared into the room where Harwan and Erdath
had fought the the undead soldiers, all of you can hear him for a second time:

"MORE revenants! Be careful!"
