8: Lost Limbs

[burke]

The room is quite empty, except for the scattered bones, and there is no imminent explanation for the chill that seems to emanate from it. The bones seem to be mostly from small animals, but here and there disturbingly humanoid remains can be seen.

At first Melanthios sees nothing in the darkness of the corridor. But as his iris's adjust, a dark figure materializes in front of him. Tall and half-translucent, clad in a suit of dark mail and plate and robed in a tattered black cloak. The figure wields a long claymore sword and its head is merely a shadow, crowned with a half-helm of darkened metal. Its eyes are the only thing living and they burn like embers, glowing with malice.

It looks Melanthios right in the eye and lunges forward with its sword raised.

OOC: Mel, Charles and Quinlan, roll your attacks. The corridor is too narrow for anyone else to fit into the melee. Spells are of course allowed.

Melanthios' attack:
2d6 +4
2 + 1 + 4 = 7

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

"Begone foul Specter"

Drugan casts "The Penetrating Laceration of Koth (Take That, You Fiend)" with his Staff/Crutch.

"Lay on comrades this fiend looks tough!"

OOC: This may be a good time to let loose with the magical might, I don't think we want to drag this battle out. Who knows what this thing is capable off.

[danhem]

"What the...that's no fish man!"

Charles sets his tower shield and thrusts his enchanted trident toward the glowing eyes of the evil specter.


2d6 +1
4 + 2 + 1 = 7

OOC: Yes, a bit more magic might be in order.

[Hogscape]

Can someone make an attack roll for Quinlan? 2 + 5... I'm at work and can't access the dice roller... (

[Hogscape]

Quinlan attacks (finally):
2d6 +5
4 + 2 + 5 = 11

[OOC: Is Alwyn back to full STR?]

OOC: Yes. Everyone is, same goes for CON.

[burke]

Melanthios and Quinlan's blades slice right through the fiend, but Charles trident keeps it at bay until Drugan unleashes his spell upon it. The creature wails and then disappears. All is once again ominously quiet.

OOC: No EP's yet, except for Drugan for casting the spell.

[Hogscape]

Quinlan: "Charles, Drugan, excellent work. I fear the revenant is not gone for good though. We must remain on our guard with spells at the ready. In the meantime, I suggest we continue the investigation of the bone room..."

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

Drugan thunks his wooden foot on the spot the specter occupied.

"Lets get this room tossed before tall dark and immaterial makes a return performance"

Drugan will examine the walls, floor and ceiling looking for unusual patterns, projections, hollow spots, cracks or anything else out of the ordinary.

When he is done with that he will approach the bone cairns and stir them with his staff/crutch.

Ready to hop back or unleash a spell!

"Be ready lads, these bone piles may contain undead of a less ghostly nature!"

[Hogscape]

Quinlan will check the bone piles for items of a loot-like nature...

"I think my net gain from this mission is 18 gold... I'll be needing more..."

[Toad-Killer-Dog]

Drugan smiles & gives Quinlan a comradely slap on the back.

"I know what you mean, I'm up small change & down a limb!" ;D

[Hogscape]

Quinlan offers Drugan one of the feathers from his hat.

Nothing springs forth as you enter the cold room. All the surfaces are grimy but bare and the bones hide nothing further. There is another door ahead, recessed into the wall, 10' from the west.
