Lorth ministers to the very attractive half-elf lying unconscious on the ground. With a flutter of long lashes, she opens her eyes and fixes the paladin with blue eyes set in an exotic looking face. The intricate coils and knots of her hair have become loose, and pale blonde strands hang down past her shoulders. Smiling sweetly at Gargul's soldier she reaches out a slender pale hand for assistance. Lorth notices she wears a big gold ring on her middle finger.

Together, Harvest and Arminas revive the lieutenant. This service does little to amend his crusty demeanour. The still wounded man scrambles to his feet, searching for his weapon. "I'll kill her!" he growls as disoriented, he tries to make his way towards the well dressed woman with Lorth, "she led them here! Helped them find it!"

Any watches as Villemus attempts to trip the blinded captain. Greenblade sidesteps the scythe, but is struck a fierce blow by Ashalan, while Merryn jabs out in vain. Backing up, Andrath issues an ultimatum, but the incensed dread soldier focuses on the rogue's voice and charges at him, her sword held straight out in front of her! (Hit AC 26 for 9 dmg, -1 to Con ) (Greenblade's AC now 16)

Bralin looks down the hallway, and finds it empty. Harvest sees nothing but a large empty room.

Lorth AC: 19 HP: 45/37
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 7:34:39 AM
Lorth helps the reeve to her feet, and watches her. When he heres Orrin's speech he replies, "Take some deep breathes Lieutenant, and please explain quickly what happened, so that we may know what is going on and help you."

Bralin (AC21, 45/45, Protection vs Evil, Enlarge) d20+9=29 d20+9=26 2d8(2+1)+6=9 2d8(3+1)+6=10 2d8(8+2)+6=16

Greenblade will go down fighting. Very well.

Bralin moves to oblige her.

The dwarf steps into range and brings down his massive axe.

[oh my. atk nat 20, crit threat ac 26, 35 hp damage]

Ashalan (AC 17, HP 20/22) d20+7=17 d8+2=5
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 10:11:12 AM
Ashalan is suprised by the Captian's blind charge of Andrath, seeing her sword strike the already wounded thief brings him back to action.

She must not harm another!

Bralin beats him to the Dread assailant and his axe falls to devestating effect. If Bralin's powerful blow hasn't stopped the captain, Ash moves to flank her opposite the still masive dwarf and moves in to finish her off. (Hit AC 17, Dam 5)

Harvest (AC22 HP 21/28) d8+1=7
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 10:32:10 AM
Harvest turns from the empty room.

"Lead them here to find what, Lieutenant Orrin," inquires Harvest Moon as she turns away from the empty room. The brown girl hears the voice of Paladin Lorth putting the same question to the guard.

And then things happen very quickly.

"Lorth! Beware the Reeve!" the little monk shouts as the paladin extends a hand to the bejeweled lady, now inexplicably conscious.

The blind elven captain strikes and Andrath Silverhand falls. Harvest Moon is torn. But from a reflexive impulse that barrels from out of a dark corner of her mind, Harvest Moon's hand reaches for the healing wand. Eyes still upon the tableau cut by the paladin and the Reeve, Harvest kneels to breath life back into her fallen comrade.

(OOC: Grenblade is very dead...)

Any (17AC, 20/20HP)
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 2:23:05 PM
Any watches in surprize as the lady rises from the floor and attacks one of the party assisting her. More than ever he wonders who the enemy is, and who he should be fighting.

He moves to get around behind this new assailant of his rescuing party. Once there, he will attempt to knock her unconscious with the hilt of his sword. However, if she does anything to threaten him, that attack will turn more lethal.

Merryn AC 17 HP 21/25 (-1 CON)
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 8:29:43 PM
Merryn moves over to aid Bralin, but he is too late. The formidably dwarf has already pulverized the enemy.

Andrath (AC20, -1/26, then 6/26 from Harvest's wand, -2 CON)
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 9:07:29 PM
The blind Captain once again connects with Andrath, knocking him to the ground, unconscious. He thinks as he falls, "She fights better blind than I do with eyesight..."

He re-awakens to see Harvest leaning over him, holding the much-used, and much-useful wand of healing. He smiles up at her, and says, "Just in time, thank you young lady." Then he rises to his feet, picking up his swords, and looks around to take stock of the situation. Seeing a huge Bralin stading over the now-prone form of the captain, he looks for another foe to take out his anger on.

Arminas (AC 19, HP 25/25)(Sub-Al) d20+6=15 d20+6=8 d8+6=7
Thursday June 2nd, 2005 10:51:00 PM
Arminas stands as the angry Lieutenant Orrin rises and strides with his accusations toward the Reeve.

The way things have gone, best to be ready for anything. The elven ranger nocks an arrow and prepares to send it whistling toward the Reeve.

Though blinded, the lucky dread soldier runs Andrath through with her terrible sword. Her luck runs out though, and the dark dwarf plays the grim executioner. Ashalan and Merryn take up guard over the captain's remains, but the evil spirit has gone to be judged by the lord of the Shadow Lands. This last threat dispatched, the party's thoughts turn to questions of whom amongst the survivors to believe!

Having resuscitated the unconscious reeve, Lorth helps her to her feet. Harvest calls out a warning, but before Any can reach milady, the reeve takes cover behind the paladin. Staring over his shoulder at the green eyed bard, she asks "Who are you? What do you want of me?" in a high tight voice.

The false blackguard stoops to heal the rogue, while Arminus stands at the ready with his bow trained on the reeve.

The lieutenant, his sword held low, approaches the paladin and milady with a slow step. "Before the gods and before man, I accuse this woman of having turned a blind eye to the infiltration of Magpie Crossing by agents of the dread, of betraying the garrison, here, at Strongwind Castle, and of aiding and abetting the theft of the artifact that was left here for safe keeping by the Pitchfork Council!"

Villemus
Friday June 3rd, 2005 2:40:07 AM
Staring at the lifeless form of Captain Greenblade, Villemus mumbled morosely, "You take lives too easily. We could have just knock her out."

And with a faint air of disgust and disdain, the drow stalked off to a corner.

OoC
sorry guys... i forgot to post yesterday...

Lorth AC: 19 HP: 45/37
Friday June 3rd, 2005 8:05:31 AM
"Mi'lady, while we will not allow Lieutenant Orrin to harm you, you will have to come with us until this is all sorted out. If you would be so kind, could you explain how you came to be unconscious in this room?" Lorth says to the Reeve. He then takes a good look at the reeves ring, does it look anything like the ring that greenblade wore? Perhaps there is some sort of cursed magic in them, he thinks.
Lorth then waits for instructions from Andrath, should we keep exploring these catacombs? The blackguard did tell Greenblade that it was time to go to their master.

Harvest (AC22 HP 21/28) d20+2=13 d20+9=16
Friday June 3rd, 2005 8:30:51 AM
Harvest Moon stands. And the image of the Blackguard stands with her. Silently she regards the Reeve. There must be wrong doing here.

"The guilt of wrong doing, Boo, cannot help but flee to the face and mannerisms. Especially if there is even the slightest shred of good within the person."

Harvest Moon watches, with a silent serious face. The fireworks. The ring. Would she reveal her duplicity?

Any (17AC, 20/20HP)
Friday June 3rd, 2005 11:28:59 AM
Any stays his hand to await the outcome of the questioning. He says, "If I can aid in restoring any to health who are injured I would do so."

He offers a potion of CLW to the company.

Ashalan (AC 17, HP 20/22)
Friday June 3rd, 2005 11:50:28 AM

Leaving the interrogation of the Reeve to others with the mental faculties to handle such deft maneuvers, Ashalan crosses to Villemus to console the drow.

"You are right friend, we have been to quick to send our enemies to the otherworld. At the very least, it would have been helpful to have a prisoner that we are sure is a part of the evil doings going on here."

Shaking his head Ash continues, "I tend to get too caught up in the heat of battle, though I must admit that quick thinking on my feet is not one of my strong suits, I tend to follow my instincts."

Turning to the others Ash raises a question. "Should we continue the search down here? If anything I am know they were looking for something."

Pointing at the Reeve he adds, "Maybe she knows what they were after."

Arminas (AC 19, HP 25/25)
Friday June 3rd, 2005 1:58:48 PM
Arminas attention is caught by the word 'artifact'. He looks toward the lieutenant, and says:

"My apology for thinking you a traitor. I have done what I can to heal the wound I inflicted. It seems though that greater problems are ahead of us. What type of artifact was stored here? Also, who took it, and to where?"

Looking to the others:
"I want you to know that I now know I have been wrong. I have been so caught up in the honor of elves, that I blindly trusted where I should not have. Worse, I overlooked the strengths and friendship to be found in Swords of Light. Forgiveness will not come quickly, but I will attempt to earn it over time."

Bralin d8=7
Saturday June 4th, 2005 1:59:42 PM
The dwarf glances at Villemus and Ashalan.

"She was offered mercy. She declined," he states factually.

Having resolved that issue, Bralin bends over Andrath and casts a healing spell of his own.

[Cure Light Wounds over Magic Stone - 9 hp healed]
