Asteria Amarante [HP: 84/84; AC: 18; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Wednesday November 7th, 2018 10:06:08 PM
Asteria blows a raspberry in Ethani's direction as silently as she can. "No fair! Did you read my mind with that weird fancy magic of yours? That's cheating!"

Toston holds up anyone from opening the door and produces a pint of oil. It is a bit messy to get it applied, but the hinges are soon very well oiled. Ethani puts away the Gem of Brightness so she can cast Sanctuary, or rather be ready to do so. The Bull Strength spells from the wand are still active for another few minutes at least Gaffer readies his Faerie Fire spell Hmerrin waits on Wil to open the door Lornak gets his whip out and frees up his Swordbreaker Dagger Asteria fidgets about in the back Wil inspects the door one last time and then opens it.
The party, Wil at the forefront currently, finds himself at the top of a short flight of descending steps. Perhaps 4 or have stone stairs descend into a chamber that is about 30' wide and 50' long. The ceiling arched going from 10' on the sides to 15' high in the center. The room is mostly bare, save what appears to be an altar near the back which is now being used as a table with a scattering of things upon it. The room is lit by a pair of oil lamps on crude stands to the left and right of the 'table'. Behind the altar in the far wall, Wil can see a doorway, but it is choked with rock, timber and dirt. In the left and right far corners are a couple of makeshift beds, footlockers, a few strongboxes and throw rugs. In the room about the table are 4 men and 2 of them match the descriptions given as those you are looking for, one from House Teeth and one from House Knife.
One of the strangers is Human, wearing leather armor with sword and dagger at the hip. The other stranger is a half orc in studded leather with a sword and dagger on his side as well.
The half orc looks up as the door swings outward. His eyes meet with Wil and he grimaces. His right hand flashes to his sword and his left casts a spell Wil Spell craft DC 23 Highlight to display spoiler: {Bless} Anyone else DC 26
The human standing next to him also spies the movement. He casts a less subtle spell and the area of the steps and the 5' at the bottom of them become covered in a magical Grease [A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details]
map is still in works Room is 30' wide after coming down the short steps Room is 50' long The altar is 40' away The half orc is 45' away to the left of the altar The Human is 45' away to the right of the altar House Teeth and House Knife men are in front of the altar, 35' away from bottom of the steps
Wil is in the doorway 40' from the altar, each successive party member is 5' further. Toston, 45; Dusan, 50; Hmerrin, 55; Gaffer, 60; Ethani, 65; Lornak, 70; Asteria, 75' away from the altar
Wil and Toston are the only 2 that can really see anything in the room

The members of the group shift in and out of Lornak's visual assiduity as he eyes the half orc in the dimness beyond the door. He shifts around to get a better vantage but bodies keep weaving back and forth. He cannot make out what spell the half orc is about to cast.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 59/59; AC:30/20/26- CMD 24 Thursday November 8th, 2018 2:56:31 AM
Toston casts shield on himself.
He then advances 30 feet down the stairs.

"He casts Bless. Seems like a defensive move. Maybe they are willing to negotiate?" Will whispers. "Oh and who was the dimension disappearing guy. I have that wand," He asks Toston as quietly as he can. Wil steps forward gingerly (Acrobatics: 18) "Let's have a conversation first, Wil says with a smile as he removes his hood. We are looking for a couple gentlemen. We just want to talk." (Diplomacy: 18)

(OOC: Note - On Jack's scroll: Description of a human named Jared Langers. Tall, dark hair, dark complexion. He left for the northwest hills just before the quakes hit. He stole certain secret ledgers and a ring of invisibility, which he used to get away. The House wants both ring and ledgers back.
On Kim's scroll: Description of a strong squat human named Oafish Jym. He has fair skin and red hair and dwarfish beard. He took a cape of the mounteback, which lets him dimension door once a day. The House wants this cape back. Sources say they pair may have gone to a certain ruins. A rough map is provided indicating the ruin is about 20 miles, a 2-3 day journey through the trackless hills.

Gaffer whispers back, "I'll act when you do" as he carefully moves forward to enter the room and gain a clear view of the others. (Acrobatics 6) But is unprepared for the slippery floor and has to focus on steadying himself (Reflex: 6) in the flickering darkness. He cannot find his balance, falling ungracefully to the floor. Not the entrance he'd hoped for. He unsteadily climbs to his feat as soon as he can.

Wil identifies teh spell, possibly just a defensive precaution and so he enters and calls to the men to have a conversation instead of a fight Toston casts Shield upon himself, and he too enters the room across the Grease spell Gaffer moves forward, but loses his balance in the Grease and has to stop just past the door Hmerrin moves up and across the Grease spell to come up next to Gaffer double move 40'
Jared and Olaf look up from the table, apparently more engrossed than the others and have only now seemed to register the party. The pair of House commanders eye the party with little to show what they may be thinking. The human, standing nearest Olaf gives a small smile in return to Wil. "And who do we have here? Unaanouced but perhpas not unwelcomed guests. I am Osmyth, Torit Osmyth. Treasure hunter, and my companions Olaf, Jared and Brohg." As he speaks he takes several steps forward, his hand motioning about as one very comfortable with conversation might do Sence Motive 27 Highlight to display spoiler: {Something is off, something almost sinister}

Lornak shuffles through the passage behind Dusan. At this distance he is unable to sense what Osmyth is thinking but he does notice Brohg palm a small vial from the table. (Sense Motive d20=17, Perception d20=28)
He wishes the Old Man in front of him would get a move on it already!
Toston says to Torit, "And pray tell what is a treasure hunter like you doing in a place like this."
Toston tries to deliver a coded message to his friends re: the palmed vial
"I don't suppose you have anything to drink around here? Not even one those heady brews the half orcs favor?" (Bluff : 23 to deliver coded message to his friends)
He then readies an action to cast scorching ray at the orc if he does anything funny with that vile

(Sense motive: 27) Sensing trouble Will attempts to alert the others with a thumbs down sign behind his back while urging them to spread out. He attempts to stay in character. He moves near R14 all while continuing fake Diplomacy. (Bluff: 24) "Now, there is not much time to resolve this. My friends and I are not a patient bunch.. He points to the others. Sure.. these guys are a little more patient but I think you know what I'm talking about." Wil winks as he conjures up a Shadow as inconspicuously as he can. "Don't be fooled by what looks like a spell. This is just how I talk all weird and stuff. We are really interested with what you stole from the Houses."

Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP 47/47, CMB 4, CMD 17) Wand of Bull's Strength in hand, Sanctuary 1/7 Friday November 9th, 2018 3:02:37 PM
Noticing the odd behavior of her companions, Ethani scoots to the side a bit (5 foot step...I can't remember how wide the hallway is...S3 if possible). Meanwhile, she tucks her Bull's Strength Wand away and pulls out her Cure Moderate Wounds wand, just to be on the safe side.

Hmerrin shakes his head. "Nope. Something stinks, and I'm pretty sure its you."
The young fighter takes several quick strides forward while drawing his axes, and drops the big one into Mr Osmyth.

Gaffer is quite confused by the cryptic wording on both sides and not sure what he should do, and then Hmerrin rushes forward.
With a sigh of relief, he stretches out his hand and cast Faerie Fire focused on Jared, coating him in a bright green glow.
He whispers to those closest, "I have a second one of those, but let's not dally."
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 78/79 AC: 23(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Friday November 9th, 2018 11:12:01 PM
Lornak's stomach drops as "negotiations" go south. He wants to be in the room. In front of him Ethani tries to allow him to pass. He uses the opportunity to yell out his suspicions over her to his friends inside; "Get away from the grease pit!" He stows his dagger. "They might set it ablaze!"
Asteria Amarante [HP: 84/84; AC: 18; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Friday November 9th, 2018 11:23:30 PM
Asteria cranes her head from the back of the group, trying to see what is going on. "Did we find them? Are we kicking butt? If we're kicking butt, wait for me! Unless it's actually negotiations. Judging by the yelling, I don't know, but screams of agony aren't considered negotiations APPARENTLY." She sends a look Ethani's way, before doing her best to squeeze towards the front of the members of her group will allow it. If not, she stays at the back anxiously.

Wil too, continues talking and moves a bit closer. Summoning is a Full round action, you moved move than 5' and cannot cast a full round spell Ethani moves 5' closer and puts the wans of Bull Strength in her pack and retrieves a wand of Cure Serious Wounds Hmerrin, having none of this, charges in and strikes with an axe. Just going with it, but Skill checks DO NOT have auto success with a natural 20 Only saves and Attack rolls Gaffer is unsure of what is going on, and thus is quite thankful when Hmerrin moves to aggressive negotiations. The druid outlines Jared in Faerie Fire. Asteria moves up wanting to get in on the action
Torit flinches and snarls as Hmerrin comes in, "No more talk huh tough guy?" He steps back and casts a spell, multiplying his images. There are now 7 Torit's Brohg ducks behind the altar and looks to pour the contents of the vial across his now drawn sword. He calls over to Jared, "Take Mr. Chatty in front of you" Jared blinks twice and his hleads snaps towards Wil. Moving in he draws a Great sword and as he closes the 5' and with 2 great swipes of the weapon, opens most of Wil upon the floor Power Attack Hit AC 20 Dmg 21 Hit AC 28 Crit 18 Dmg 21
Olaf continues to stand there, he looks to Hmerrin with an almost sdetached curiosity, until Tori's voice cuts in. "Time for some action Olaf!" The House Commander's face gets very dark as he eyes Hmerrin and purposefully draws his sword and dagger

Gaffer takes a 5 foot step to the side, out of the grease and clearing the door way (Acrobatics: 15) for the others to come through.
Hoping to put them on the back foot, he sends a wave on energy rippling through the earth, causing the stone beneath their feet (R15-U18) to rise up in points. Casting Spike Stones, conjuring just one square.

"Clearly, someone has anger issues," Will squeaks as he reels from the blows. "You just got blood on a clearly mopped floor," he whispered almost inaudible. "I truly hope you cannot due that again because it would suck." Will casts cure Moderate wounds on himself. Cure wounds: 17;

Seeing Will fall, Ethani does not hesitate. Squeezing past Dusan, Asteria and Lornak, she carefully makes her way through the Grease area and sets herself just outside it. (S9, last move is diagonal from T8 to S9...rolled Acrobatics just to be safe of 17).
Reaching out her hands, Ethani sends a wave of healing into Wil (19 HP restored).

Lornak feels Ethani slide past him and then follows her lead out of the corridor. Why does it always go down like this...? Lornak muses as he navigates the steps and pit. (Move action to 9V)
He clears the grease pit with no problems. (Acrobatics d20=17) Opposite of his Love, he feels her magics caress his body.
Watching what happens in front of him, he speaks the groups intentions to Torit and Brohg; "We are only here for the deserters treasure hunters, we have no quarrel with you!" (Diplomacy d20=19)
Lornak brandishes his swordbreaker dagger once more now that he has the room to use it. (Standard Actioin) He raises his arm. From behind his buckler he shouts; "There is no need to use that poison, Brohg!"

Carefully tip toeing out of the Grease area, Ethani clears the log jam she accidentally created (R12). Sighing, she quickly begins to catalog the wounded, a habit she acquired from her days as a medic in the Undersea Army. Though her Status spell lets her know that Hmerrin just got hit, she recognizes that Wil is her first priority. She moves directly behind Will and casts Cure Serious Wounds on the rogue (30 HP restored). "Now, stay out of trouble!" she murmurs as she thinks though her triage strategy.
Hopefully Asteria will be able to enter the fray and even the odds. Though maybe I can help spur that on..
"Hey Sis!" Ethani calls back to the barbarian "Hey, I'm pretty sure that ugly looking half-orc just said that he likes to torture puppies for fun!"

"Thank you so much, Wil said to the others that helped him heal. I guess I kind of asked for that trouble but I really thought Jared and I could talk. A little mono de santos or something.. Maybe next time I should take a shield with me." "Oh, right.. Jared tried to kill me. I could just punch you, he threatened. " He summoned the shadow of an ape. A huge, muscular creature began to take shape within Wil's small shadow. "Wait till he comes... are those my arms," he suddenly notices the shadow. "Wow, look at those muscles. " Will said while flexing and waiting impatiently. He then takes up a defensive position ready to dodge a blow.

Asteria hears her sister's call and is immediately enraged at the thought. She sends a death glare his direction with all the venom she can muster in a single look. "Oh NO you do not. FOR PERI!!!!" Shoving her way past the group, she musters all the strength and speed she has to charge towards the fiend. And then she falls flat on her face, quite literally eating the dirt. Looking back, she notices her foot is stuck in the mud. There goes that. "JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET OUT HERE! I SWEAR I'LL KILL YOU!!!"

I had to correct Toston's attack which i rolled in the first announcement and which as Olaf failed a Fort save, resulted in the rework. I kept all other roll action results from the previous post. Also Wil's spell was an attack and created an AoO which is resolved in the rolls with this post All actions over the past 24 hours not listed in the post below are erased.

Toston hits Olaf in the bread basket Gaffer casts Flaming Sphere, creating it on Osmyth, the spell casting human. Osmyth manages to dodge the spell.

Hmerrin Heal 10 Hmerrin keeps his attacks focused on the Half orc and catches him in the shoulder and forearm Lornak lashes out at Jared with his whip and takes him down. Ethani, trusting in her Sanctuary spell, casts a healing spell on Hmerrin and then imparts her Lesser Life gift as well. Hmerrin healed 51 Ethani still needs a reflex save or be at 1/2 speed Asteria steps over and with a barbaric scream, chops into the prone House Commander Jared.
Osmyth begins a low chant, a poem of shadows and whispers in the dark. It is an awful meter and grates to the mind, like nails on a chalkboard or chewing on tinfoil.

Gaffer moves up to S13 to get a better view of the situations. With everyone packed into the small corridor it is hard to be sure exactly what is happening.
Focusing his efforts on those he isn't afraid to kill, he casts his second Flaming Sphere onto Brohg, now keeping a sphere on both of them.

Seeing that her other patient has literally come to her, Ethani thinks through her options. Will needs healing, but truthfully, she needs it too. She can channel her energy out and help everyone, but it will help the enemy as well.
Sighing, she trades out her Dimensional Anchor and uses it to cast Cure Serious Wounds on Will. 12+10=22 HP returned to Wil. She then moves back behind Wil to V15, knowing that she will be useless if unconscious.

Asteria staggers backwards as she feels her blood spill over the floor. Worried that another attack may be her last, Asteria takes a step backwards, wiping blood from her mouth. "Hey, anyone able to give me a bit of a heal? Some godly touch or something?"

Toston brings a magical charge to his hands and again slams Olaf in the chest. Olaf says nothing, and impassionately continues to try and kill Hmerrin. Gaffer moves up and brings another flaming Sphere into existance, this time on top of the Half Orc Brohg. The Half Orc twists away and points out Gaffer, "I'm afraid you'll have to wait your turn." Ethani casts another healing spell, but this time Brohg, Osmyth and Olaf attempt to interrupt. Only Brogh follows through with his attack. Brohg whips the dagger across her stomach. Hit AC 34 crit 23 Dmg 11 + poison Fort Save DC 11 Else 1d2 Wis dmg Ethani struggles to hold onto the spell Concentration DC 25 or lose the spell Ethani then knows she must get back from the Half orc or fall and be no good to anyone Lornak goes after the prone Jared in an attempt to disarm the very dangerous House Commander. The great sword sweeps out, but not fast enough but Lornak is unable to disarm him. As Lornak picks his whip back up he provokes another attack from Jared. this time it is Lornak who is a bit slow AoO Hit AC 27 Dmg 18 Unfortuantely Wil has no real control over the things he summons. The Ape bears down intent on ripping Jareds arms off. Even Prone, Jared can defend himself well against the ape Wil activates his amulet again and calls for a Constrictor snake to join the battle Please note that you might not get the healing from Ethani, dependent on her concentration check Hmerrin sees his options are limited. Pinned in down between a pair of rogues in close quarters is hopefully something he'll live to not repeat. He catches Brohg with his hand axe twice, spraying blood across the wall and elliciting a painful yell from the half. "I'm going to enjoy you most of all" Brohg threatens Asteria is taken a back and steps back looking for one of the healers. Unfortunately right now, none are near by
Osmyth contines a few more lines of the dark and disturbing poem. "Through the glass though taking shape, beyond your reach, calls to nothing" He then bgins a spell, but while trying to focus on the threat Hmerrin poses, he loses it. He does still manage to keep out of the Flaming Sphere Olaf is bloodied and bruised, but continues after Hmerrin in a starkly disquieting silent way. Like some unfeeling serial killer he quietly thrusts his dagger over and over again into Hmerrin [Hit AC 36 crit 20 / 33 Dmg 5+16 / 3+11 + 4 Bleeding[/i] Hmerrin falls and Olaf simply turns on Toston. There is no expression upon his face Brogh, on the other hand, smiles and licks his lips. "Don't go to far." He says to the fallen fighter. Brohg pulls a potion from his pack and drinks it, curing some of his wounds. Jared, still on the floor, presses Lornak. The commander sweeps up and out 3 times at Lornak, but luckily only connects once [Hit AC 16 / 15 / 27 Dmg 35[/i]

Lornak steps to the right from Jared's slashes. (Simple Action Five foot step to 13V) He then moves away. (Move Action 5 foot step 12V). Once clear of the man's swings he attacks with his whip again, this time to drag the man away from the alter. (Attack Action d20=32 vs CMD)

As he sees Jared's surprising defence from on the ground, Gaffer steps round to U12, an points a finger at the prone figure. A Storm Burst (Touch Attack: 22) jumps from his hand a lances through Jared dealing 6 (non-lethal damage) and buffeting him for the next round. (-2 to attack rolls).
He grimaces as Hmerrin falls, hoping one of their two healers can reach him in time, and knowing they need the fight to start turning in their favour.

Toston moves on Jared and attacks, giving Jared a good kick to the ribs. Jared cannot be flanked Hmerrin spits, grabs his axes and gets up. "Ho ho, you are a lively one boy!"

(Ooc: Lost my internet at home for a few days... Just FYI) Will puts his hands up and steps from the fight. "Please allow me to tend to our dead. I am obligated." (Mobility: AC 23) He then steps to Ethani, pulls some oil from his pack and annotes her kindly. Always, tough to bless friends Will tears up as he performs the funeral ceremony.

Realising what has happened Gaffer stumbles in his actions, "No, not again, it, we... No!"
As his sphere keep burning, smothering the two who remain standing, he shouts "Yield!" and calls down a Flame Strike At the center of T18/T19/U18/U19 I think should hit Osmyth and Brohg
If that can't work he sends out yet another storm burst onto Brohg.
Hmerrin grabs his axes, taking another blade strike for his efforts. [Fort 16] He manages to get to his feet without taking another or succumbing to the poison. At which point Brohg hits him twice more. [Fort 13 and 24]
Osmyth pulls a bow out, and the young fighter takes a swing at him, but only manages to pop an image. [d10 roll is a 2. Atk hits ac 35]
Too weak for any more words, Hmerrin screams a war cry, and using his handaxe only as a defensive tool, puts all his strength into striking the half orc with his battleaxe.

As from a dream, Lornak's eyes blink open. A soft voice echos in his mind. He slowly sits up, completely in a daze. His eyes stare at the face of his fallen lover as his limbs perform actions of rote. He is only awareness of them from the periphery of his vision as if his body is functioning on automatic.
His hands work his familiar Crossbow. Deft fingers move from the bow to his waist and back. Before he realizes what is actually happening a bolt sings toward the Half Orc.

Screaming in rage, Asteria moves up, tears stinging her eyes. Her uncontrollable rage and inconsolable sorrow shakes her form as she puts up her axe and shield, switching them out for her bow. Arms trembling, she aims and shoots at the Half Orc if possible. If not, she waits for her turn to tear into the remaining enemies.

Wil moves back from the Half orc, but the vile man still takes a stab at the retreating cleric. Stabbing Wil in the side, "Oh don't look at me like that! What better way to tend to her then as a personal guide" AoO Hit AC 34 Dmg 6 + Poison Fort Save DC 13 Else 1d2 Wis Dmg Toston strikes out and misses Gaffer, with a little more room, calls down a Flame Strike. The Half orc cries out in surprise and crumples to the ground. Osmyth pulls his cloak about him and grunts as the flames whip about. He is burned, but still upright. Hmerrin sees a column of fire engulf the pair and in an instant it is gone and the hoalf orc lies on the ground. The young fighter gives a mighty cry and sinks his battle axe into Osmyth. The axe rips through one of the images. As does the second stirke. Lornak pulls his Hand Crossbow, coats a bolt with poison, loads and fires. The bolt destroys the last of Osmyth's Mirror Images.
Osmyth evades the Flaming Sphere and moves to the side, while dropping his bow and drawing a rapier. "Long Views of Time. Through dark and within it." He intones as he stabs out at Hmerrin Hit AC 34 Dmg 7

Toston being of the bloodline of gold dragons and being trained as a monk to evade certain attacks figures he has a good chance of being unharmed by the flaming sphere so he takes a 5 foot step to V17 and then flurries against the human.

Breathing hard after the spell, Gaffer allows one of his sphere's to fade as it's target collapses on the floor. He moves the second to W18, not giving Osmyth a moment of respite.
With just one remaining, he uses Storm Burst again, but his control over the energy is askew and it lances to the side.

Sheathe Weapon is Move Action, Remove Shield is Move Action Toston steps into the Flaming Sphere and gets a little too close. Dmg 3 takes your Rresistance into account He tries to land several nblows on Osmyth, but misses The snake moves in and Osmyth's eyes go wide as the 6' python bites his leg and pulls its coils about him. Hmerrin drops to a knee and his axes clatter to the floor Lornak poisons and loads another bolt "A stupid snake!?" are the last words that come from Osmyth as the constrictor gets to his midsection and squeezes. Blood fountains from his mouth and his head slumps into his chest Gaffer realizes he can hold his spell and that Flaming Spheres are not Dismissable. They must run their duration. He can, however move the sphere from Toston and does.

Toston tries to figure out if the human or half-orc are still alive.
(Perception:25; Heal 13)
If he can tell that they are he tells Wil and Gaffer and asks them to stabilize them reasoning they can just have more prisoners.
He then goes over to Hmerrin and pours his potion of cure light wounds down his friends throat (4 hp healed)
After that he walks over to their unconscious quarry and starts searching them for anything that could be considered a weapon (Perception: 31) taking said items from the 2 and putting them in a pile away from their captives. He then takes his rope and binds the men's hands and puts gags over their mouths as he isn't sure if either of them know magic and he doesn't want to take any chances.
With their captives secure he'll do the same to the other combatants if they are alive once Wil and Gaffer have at least made sure they won't die and if they are dead he'll just shrug for now and see to the rest of his companions.
"Well we got our men, but at what cost?" he asks
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) Thursday November 29th, 2018 10:29:54 AM
will be frank. Let Gargul take them. They have little respect for human life, I have none for them. That beast hit me as I tried to bless our fallen comrade. I will be happy to assist Hmerrin first, then if you insist I can try to help the others not die." (Ooc: Not sure if I have anything left to use to cast heal)
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 25/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Thursday November 29th, 2018 1:14:48 PM
Lornak wobbles on his feet and drops his crossbow. Still functioning on autopilot his only thread of focus is on Ethani. He watches as hands reach into clothing and pack and pouch. In one hand he sees a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds manifest, in the other a potion of Cure Moderate Wounds Oil.
Far in the reaches of his mind the acknowledgement that he cannot effectively administer the Former to Ethani breaks him a bit further. With a face of frantic desperation, he stumbles onto his backside next to her and cries out for his friend to help her, arms raised; "Dusan! I need..." His words end there as he bows his head and begins to sob.
Hmerrin(HP 14/83 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) d8=8 ; d8=3 ; Thursday November 29th, 2018 6:38:32 PM
Hmerrin's eyes flutter open as Toston's potion takes effect. The young man painfully reaches to his own pouch to retrieve two similar potions, and drains both.
Still sitting, his back braced against the wall, his eyes scan over the fallen, stopping lastly at the form of Lornak sobbing over Ethani. He stifles a sob, as equal parts sadness and guilt wash over him.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 12/84; AC: 20; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20] Thursday November 29th, 2018 8:58:55 PM
As soon as the last enemy falls, Asteria collapses by her sister's side. Curling up with her head in her knees, she gently takes her sister's cold hand into her own. She sobs, making no effort to hide her tears from her friends.
At the mention of keeping the other foes, her eyes go dark. Cheeks stained with tears, she glares towards their bodies. "Why? I say we kill them all, let Gargul sort them out..." At the mention of Gargul, her voice sticks in her throat. She looks down at Ethani's lifeless body, a fresh stream of tears replacing the old ones. Asteria falls silent.

Cayzle cast one spell 2nd lvl spell and Erik cast a 4th spell before he left. These 3rd level spells are still available for Dusan to cast.)
Last Round - Dusan raises a shakey, boney hand and sends out his spectral hand to touch the fallen Ethani.
(Standard Action Cure Serious Wounds) [1d8x3=13+8(lvl)=21] times 1.5(domain) = 31HP to Ethani
This Round -
(Standard Action Cure Serious Wounds) [1d8X3=12+8(lvl)=20] times 1.5(domain) = 30HP to Ethani.
Dusan Danaan is then distracted by a sound in the tunnels behind him. Turning his head he movse off to find it in his senility. His shuffling feet and mumbling voice echo into silence.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 56/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Friday November 30th, 2018 1:14:11 AM

Gaffer tends to the wounds of the two House members they were after, making sure there is no risk of them dying as best he can.
Heal Jared: 22 Heal Olaf: 15
He numbly searches over their bodies and removes the ring and cloak if possible, not wanting to worry about them escaping.
He drops the earthen spikes spell and moves his flaming spheres away from the group until they extinguish.
That done, he kneels a little way from Ethani, giving Lornak space, and offers a silent prayer.
Tower of Desolation Combat Over d20+2=19 ; d20+1=10 ; Friday November 30th, 2018 8:26:33 AM
Toston checks on the Half orc and the human and finds that both are still alive and that his skills in healing are not up to the challenge of preventing them from dying. He looks to Wil for help for the pair. Toston then moves to Hmerrin and administers a healing potion. Hmerrin loses 2 HP while Toston checks on the others before giving Hmerrin the healing potion for +4 HP Wil moves to help Hmerrin first Heal Check allows anyone to stabalize someone DC 15 Not sure what to do, he administers another pair of potions to Hmerrin from the fighters pouch Hmerrin wakes and leans up against the wall. Wil's potions were Hmerrin's as he would have still been unconscious after Toston's Lornak falls back by Ethani calling out to Dusan to help, but there is nothing that can be done from this side of the Shadow Realm for the cleric of Alemi Ethani is dead, but her face is serene and even in death she seems to have a smile, knowing she died doing what she loved for those she loved. Dusan shoulders slump, there is nothing he can do. Ethani is at -30 something or more Gaffer tends to the wounds of Jared and Olaf. Both men are alive and can be brought around with some healing magic or time, depending on the party's desire
Toston and Gaffer have searched all and secured the weapons at the far side of the room, along with cloaks rings and just about everything any of the 4 are wearing. He also binds the men with rope and props the four of them against the wall several feet apart from each other and gagged. The half orc and human called Osmyth have not recieved any treatment to this point and Jared and Olaf are stable and secure
A quiet falls over the room, save choked back tears from Lornak.
After several long moments the quiet settles deeper and the lights by the altar seem to dim slightly, shadows growing in the corners of this old chapel...
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) d20+11=22 ; Friday November 30th, 2018 10:35:13 PM
Will stares at the two dying men. He is furious. "As a cleric of Gargul can I allow them to die? I am so conflicted," he says as he hovers over to the men. He notices the lights dim and has a feeling deep within his chest. (Perception: 22)
Hmerrin(HP 12/83 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Saturday December 1st, 2018 10:12:07 AM
Hmerrin struggles to his feet, and takes a couple moments to shift his mind back to the tactical situation of staying alive. Everyone else alive....stop it...stay above it...
Leaving Gaffer and Wil to decide the fate of Offal One and Offal Two, and Asteria and Lornak to their grief, the young man pulls Toston aside.
"We might end up being here for a bit," he notes, with a glance at the carnage. "We're too hurt to leave. You think you can reset any of them traps we disabled coming in?"
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) d8+5=7 ; Sunday December 2nd, 2018 12:05:42 AM
Lornak's arms slump to his sides. He hands rake the floor of the crypt and releases the potions from his grip. He does not note them roll away as his head comes up. On his knees Lornak wipes tears from his eyes. He then leans down and caresses his lover's face, the familiar softness still comforting. He smiles slightly and presses his lips to Ethani's in one last showing of affection, his face twisting and contorting to hold back more sobs. Once he releases her then leans back onto his heels.
Lornak reaches down and grabs his crossbow. His eyes grow dark as they lock in on the House deserters. He gently releases the pressure of the nocked bolt and wraps his fingers around the shaft so that the point sticks out of a clenched fist. He gathers himself and leaves his lover's side. He stands up and starts to walk toward the House Men collapsed on the floor, determined.
Nothing stops him as he approaches the two men. His dim smile becomes a snarl. Even as his companions may impede his course he simply pushes past them. With bolt in hand, and teeth bare he finds Jared first. With a scream he stabs the bolt into the flesh of the swordsman's thigh, imbuing Drow Poison there in the blood that wells up. In his madness he still remembers his duty despite his need to simply end the two men. He savagely yanks it out when he feels satisfied, oblivious of the wound left behind. He wipes the mess upon his trousers. He adds another dose from the well at his belt and repeats the process on Olaf. He stands back while looking down at the pair; "That should render them unconscious a day, perhaps two." He says, throwing the bolt into the grease pit. "Toston, there is rope in my pack. Use it to fashion bindings these men cannot escape."
He turns to his companions with fire in his eyes. A remote thought of resurrection shines like a dim star in the maelstrom of emotions that envelope him. We must act.
He moves towards his Love's body determined to carry it to Hell itself and back if there is any possibility that he can bring her back to him. If any of The Tide assist him, he will receive it kindly. "To crows with our health." He says. "If there is ANY chance at bringing back Ethani, we must march."Now." He applies the Cure Light Wounds Oil to himself and offers again the Potion of Cure Moderate Wounds to anyone that needs it worse than himself. (1d8+5=7 HP added.)
"Gaffer, we will need your nose." He bends down and tenderly lifts the limp form of his Love. "They have to have horses at the ready. We will use them as a litter."
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) Sunday December 2nd, 2018 9:00:26 AM
Will stares, paralyzed with the expected behavior from Lornak but there are some moral questions. "Should I allow this," he says to himself and immediately get a response back from Cicero. "Did you see what they did to you!" The voice booms. "It doesn't make it right! I don't need your comment. Why do you always insert comments," Wil shouts angerly to no one. Will then waits for Lornak to finish then assists where he can with the body.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 59/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 0/8) Monday December 3rd, 2018 5:42:55 AM
Gaffer cannot bring himself to be shocked. They fought a bloody battle already and he cannot imagine the grief Lornak feels in this moment.
He murmurs, quietly, "Can we, should we, try and bring her back?" An uncertain voice amongst the shouts.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 56/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Monday December 3rd, 2018 6:15:36 AM
Toston implores his friends to stop the others from dyimg, "We are better than them. We are supposed to be the good guys. I would stabilize them myself but I used the one potion I had on Hmerrin and my spells don't heal. Besides resurrections are not cheap. You generally need diamonds I think. Who knows mayhap the houses will give us a bonus if there are more prisoners for them to interrogate as to where their missing property got to. "
To Hmerrin he says, "You'll have to ask Wil if any of the traps can be reset as I'm not knowledgable regarding the workings of traps. I just have a keen nose and eyes.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 12/84; AC: 20; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20; Fatigued] Monday December 3rd, 2018 8:14:49 AM
Asteria's heart hurts as she watches Lornak's actions, sitting by her fallen sister's side. She stays silent as he picks up her body, and she stands as well. She quietly offers her help in carrying any captive, or her sister if Lornak grows tired.
Tower of Desolation Combat Over Monday December 3rd, 2018 6:03:49 PM
Wil stands, looking at the two men, bleeding out on the floor of the former chapel. He is torn as to preventing their deaths Hmerrin takes Toston aside and has a small meeting about trying to reset the places defenses as he sees a 2-3 day hike across the wilds and through the territory of a Witchfire in their current condition to be less than wise. While they talk, Lornak moves on Jared and Olaf and stabs each of them with a poisoned bolt. please keep in mind Applying poison to a weapon or single piece of ammunition is a standard action. Whenever a character applies or readies a poison for use there is a 5% chance that he exposes himself to the poison and must save against the poison as normal Also remember to track how much poison you have and use. This battle has been 4 doses The men are already bound with rope and gagged as well Lornak moves to pick up Ethani, intent on leaving immediately
Before much else can happen, a cool breeze flows down the small flight of stairs you came in from. The temperature drops within the chamber quickly and soon enough you can see your own breath. As this is happening a blue glow starts to appear from where you came in. A ghostly image shimmers in the doorway at the top of the steps and descends to the chamber.
"You are standing upon hallowed ground, desecrated by evil doers and now stained with innocent blood. Speak quickly to explain yourselves and face judgment."
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) d20+10=14 ; d20+12=19 ; Monday December 3rd, 2018 6:20:18 PM
Wil gets a chill as he stares at the men. He relents and begins to treat one of the men. (Heal: 10) He quickly turns toward the voice and immediately speaks up. "May I see my judge before I attempt to explain our situation? I tried to negotiate with these monsters you see lying here. My confidence in negotiation is a little shaken. Maybe someone else should take this on. Also, I have no energy to fight, if I have too. You could strike me down with a sigh." (Diplomacy: 19)
Hmerrin(HP 12/83 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Monday December 3rd, 2018 6:55:05 PM
Hmerrin sighs in resignation as the ghost descends the stairs.
"That's just great." he murmurs, once again drawing his axes.
Raising his voice, he answers. "C'mon guy. We were just here to capture these two, when the orc with the poison and the guy with the evil chanting went and killed our friend. So, we'd be all too happy to just pick up our people and head on out, no problem."
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) d20=7 ; d20+8=19 ; Monday December 3rd, 2018 8:12:18 PM
Graciously accepting Astaria's help, he wordlessly delivers the body of Ethani into her caring arms and gathers up his weapons from the floor. He makes sure that Toston has access to his pack and is about to take back Ethani from Asteria and depart when the otherworldly presence makes its itself known to The Tide. He stops short and lets out a sigh.
He stands his ground. "The Kid has the right of it. My only wish is to honor my beloved." Lornak's eyes move to Ethani. "What may we do to sanctify this place that we have not already done by dispatching the evildoers?" (Diplomacy to Aid another d20=19)
DROW POISON - Fort Save DC 13. If initial save fails, unconsciousness for 1 minute; After one minute, save again, and a second failure causes unconsciousness for 2d4 hours.
(OOC I forgot that I had to apply my own saves for applying the Drow Poison, the first d20 is for the application in the last post. I used the Standard actions during the fight to apply the poison. My dosage use has been kept on track of on my character sheet in my Equipment. Lornak acquired 8 doses of Drow Poison after the Sargrass chapter, he is currently down to 4 taking its 40gp worth from my loose gold.)
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 59/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 0/8) Monday December 3rd, 2018 8:51:10 PM
Gaffer rises as Lornak begins to move Ethani's body. He steps forward to stand beside Wil, ready to shield him in case the apparition attacks. Waiting calmly for it's response. It seems only fitting that things might go from terrible to worse.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 56/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 d20+3=8 ; Tuesday December 4th, 2018 3:03:35 AM
"The evildoers slew our friend. She died so that some of us didn't have to. Granted we were here to capture 2 of said evil doers but they made the first move. I'm sorry your resting place has been desecrated. How may we help you restore it? Then again if you are the guardian of this place why are you harassing us? We are the good guys" (Diplomacy:8 to aid another = fail)
Tower of Desolation Death and Life Tuesday December 4th, 2018 9:36:32 PM
Wil begins to treat the two dying men, but is finding the wounds beyond his capabilities. The apparition gets his undivided attention and he politely requests to see his judge. The ghost nods and gives a small bow of his head to indicate that he is the judge in question Hmerrin takes a breath and draws his axes, but also provides an answer to the spirit's question. Lornak backs Hmerrin up and adds his desire to take Ethani home and what the group may do to restore the sanctity of the old chapel Gaffer moves to stand next to Wil and possibly intercede if needed Toston adds the men on the floor killed Ethani who gave her life to save the rest of them.
The ghost approaches, gliding across but not touching the floor. His face is filled with sadness and his eyeless sockets seem to pull at any soul that begins to meet his gaze. His head moves with quick glances to each of you and you certainly feel that if he lingered too long it would be your end. Wil is the first to notice a ghost medallion about his neck, the Symbol of Gargul and more specifically, it marks him as a Soulseeker. He stops about 10' from Wil and glances at the 2 men lying at his feet. "You have been found guilty and your sentence is death. His left hand stretches out towards the pair bleeding on the floor and they shrivel into dust in moments.
The ghost continues to look at the dried husks for another few moments and then he pulls his cowl over his head and raises his now hidden gaze. "Your efforts have been noted and I find the rest deserving of life." He then stretches out his right hand and a mist seems to pull from the air about him and solidifies into what can best be described as a portal.
"I wish for you success and safe journey." He falls silent and reverently bows his head towards the portal standing open.
About the room, you notice several worn and ancient glyphs of gargul have begun to softly glow, making it quite clear to where the portal leads
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Tuesday December 4th, 2018 10:36:35 PM
Lornak sighs at the withering bodies an anger pinging his insides.
"Does that include the noble life lost?" Lornak asks the Soulseeker, clearly speaking about Ethani.
He looks at the portal and is instantly compelled to walk through to it. To the underworld then...
He looks back at his companions; "If it is not too offputting, grab a handful of ash and an identifying item for those two and put each into a pouch. We keep them on us for proof of bounty." He begins to gather up all of his belongings and readies to move. "I intend to enter that portal with Ethani..."
He stands up and slings his pack, heedless of any loot from the excursion might fit in it. "...if you do not wish to follow, I of course understand. He nods to the Soulseeker as it bids him safe and successful journey.
"If never I see any of you again, know that you are the bravest and most noble friends I have ever known."
Lornak enters the portal.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 56/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Wednesday December 5th, 2018 3:41:59 AM
Toston says, "Well that resolved what to do with the 2 people we didn't expect seeing here. Mayhap Lornak is right? Besides taking the prisoners we wanted alive, we take some ash from the half orc and human along with their belongings when we bring the others in."
He sets about doing this grim task and then says, "Should we take our prisoners through the portal? I mean who knows where we will exit to when we leave?"
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 59/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 0/8) Wednesday December 5th, 2018 7:56:32 AM
Gaffer peers through the portal, trying to glimpse the other side. Looking at the party around them, the blood splattered floor and Ethani in Lornak's arms. "Do we want the risk of keeping them?"
After Lornak steps through he says with a shrug, "Well now he has said that..." a quick smile at the Soulseeker "Thank you, I think." And follows Lornak through.
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) Wednesday December 5th, 2018 12:40:36 PM
"That's a good question. Are they going to be talking after seeing the land of the dead. I've only seen visions being a cleric of this divine personage. Not sure how ethical it would be to drag them in. Could we tie them securely? They don't have to be comfortable, just not dead." Will helps with any group decision and enters the portal. He is a bit giddy but tries to contain that excitement.
Hmerrin(HP 12/83 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Wednesday December 5th, 2018 6:12:13 PM
Hmerrin, eyes wide, shifts his gaze from Soulseeker to two ash heaps to gate to Lornak back to Soulseeker.
"Um, we're doing this, then?"
Looks like we are
The fighter reaches down and scoops up Jared over his shoulders.
"Asteria, bring that other guy."
Hmerrin follows the rest though the gate.
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP -44/47,) Wednesday December 5th, 2018 8:43:06 PM
The young cleric blinks as she awakens, not entirely sure where she is... she feels her wounds, deep and mortal, but there is no pain. Opening her eyes she sees darkness. But is there something else forming on the edges of her vision? She rubs at her eyes, very confused.
Asteria Amarante [HP: 12/84; AC: 20; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20; Fatigued] Wednesday December 5th, 2018 9:07:52 PM
Asteria bites her lip, glancing on to the limp body of her sister. The appearance of the Soulseeker barely fazes her, as she is already shell-shocked from the loss of her sister. She feels determination deep in her soul, however, at the doorstep of death. Picking up that other guy, she follows the group into the gate.
Toston Lotor(Hugh Crosmun) [HP: 56/59; AC:30/20/26 - CMD 24 Thursday December 6th, 2018 2:03:16 AM
Toston makes sure to grab their enemy's gear before stepping through the portal.
ACDM RobC - "Um, we're doing this, then?" Thursday December 6th, 2018 2:38:03 AM
The party one by one make the decision to step through the portal - prisoners in tow.
Stepping through is instantaneous. No magical lights or feelings of being pulled through space and time. Simply through a magical portal and immediately finding yourself standing in a room of polished obsidian. A reflective floor, shiny walls and high ceilings. Very high. Well, you assume there is a ceiling up there somewhere in the blackness but you just can't see to the top.
The room is quite void except for a massive black throne, fit for a giant.
"Quite a sight, am I right?" comes a voice from behind you. Standing there is a fiendish looking red imp "Don't worry. The big guy will be along soon. While we're waiting though... BAM!"
The imp snaps his fingers and out of nowhere you can see Ethani standing right in the middle of the room. She looks exactly as she did that morning. Not a single scratch and not a single sign of blood. She looks absolutely perfect, which is a little odd considering Lornak is still carrying Ethani's lifeless body.
It is apparent that the spirit (or soul?) of Ethani is here and has been waiting.
The portal closes behind you.
Knowl Religion check DC10: Highlight to display spoiler: {This imp can be none other than Gimp - the faithful companion to Gargul himself}
OOC: Ethani, you may now post. Note that you cannot touch anything nor be touched. It's like you are an illusion and can't interact with anything. Hands will simply pass through you
Wilford Grimly (HP:8/47; AC: 19; Touch: 12; Flat: 16; CMD: 18) d20+11=29 ; Thursday December 6th, 2018 10:56:22 AM
Wil is speechless as the small imp materializes Ethani. "My mother and father told me about this place, bless their souls. It's absolutely amazing." It was then that he noticed the voices in his head stopped completely. Unlike in the City Below, he is comfortable without them. This place seemed to calm him. (Perception: 29)
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) d20+3=22 ; Thursday December 6th, 2018 4:23:45 PM
Emerging from the portal Lornak notices a familiar voice and knows in an instant the decision to walk through the portal was the right one. That knowledge does not give him any solace to continue, however. (Knowledge d20=22)
He turns toward Gimp and his heart drops when he sees Ethani standing there next to the harbinger. He did not expect to see her so immediately. He does not know if she can see him but gives her Ethani a wry smile as if to say; We knew it would come to this, did we not my love?
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Thursday December 6th, 2018 4:27:47 PM
Lornak greets Gimp with a nod of his head and steps forward. He gently lays the body of Ethani upon the obsidian floor. "Quite striking actually." He says in answer to Gimp's rhetorical question. "A craftsman's triumph."
He then stands and faces the throne and patiently waits for an audience with Gargul.
Gaffer (Courtney HP: 59/61 AC:21(T:16/FF:15) CMD:20 WS 2/2 LL 0/8) d20=5 ; Thursday December 6th, 2018 4:32:43 PM
Bewildered by their new surroundings, Gaffer is joyed to see Ethani, even as a spirit. "Bam indeed" he mutters.
Toston fails to recognize who the Imp is. He says, "Should we be worried the afterlife Ethani went to has an evil outsider in possession of her soul?"
Hmerrin(HP 12/83 AC:25 T:15 FF:21 CMD:25) Thursday December 6th, 2018 7:21:55 PM
Hmerrin nearly comes out of his skin when the voice starts talking right behind him.
He starts again when the spirit of Ethani appears.
"Well, If we're not worried about that," he responds worriedly to Toston, "how about the giant throne in a giant black room we got to by walking through a gate some Killer Wizard opened and are about to be dealt with by someone called the Big Guy?"
Asteria Amarante [HP: 12/84; AC: 20; Touch: 12; Flat: 20; CMD: 20; Fatigued] Thursday December 6th, 2018 8:17:56 PM
Asteria finds herself in awe of the magnificent room they find themselves in. Looking at the imp, she shrugs off his presence in favor of something far more important.
The moment her sister's form appears, Asteria's whole face lights up and she sets off into a sprint towards her. She reaches out to embrace Ethani... And almost falls completely through her. Confused by her failed attempt, she straightens up and gingerly puts a hand out. Her face goes pale as her hand goes through her sister. She bites her lip, blinking a few times. "I guess... It wouldn't be that easy, huh?"
Ethani (Nellie, AC 20, HP -44/47,) Thursday December 6th, 2018 8:40:25 PM
Awakening to the sight of the group, Ethani beams at the others as Asteria bounds toward her. "Oh...uhh...yes well, I suppose I am not all here just quite yet." A slight frown breaks Ethani's normally cheerful face. "Oh my sister, I'm so sorry I failed you! I should have been more cautious!"
Ethani floats toward Lornak, her heart breaking "Oh my Love, I am so sorry that I left you like this. I should have been smarter about what I was doing. I just wanted to make sure that Wil was ok. But leaving myself open endangered everyone. Please forgive me my Love!"
ACDM RobC - "Oh...uhh...yes well, I suppose I am not all here just quite yet." Friday December 7th, 2018 4:04:30 AM
In the dark room light is found: Ethani reunited one last time with Asteria and Lornak. The chance to say words that might never have been spoken, and to have that chance to say goodbye.
The group stand impressed - perhaps in awe - by where they currently stand. A place where one of the true Gods of the Wold may grant them an audience.
It seems to be taking a while though. Nothing is happening. Gimp starts whistling and rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet. "Any minute now...."
In fact it is close to ten minutes before you first hear it. CRASH..... CRASH..... CRASH. It's like thunderstones being dropped onto the ground. The impact so deep though you can feel the vibrations in your chest and it's getting much louder. CRASH..... CRASH.....
"Here he comes" Gimp whispers to the group. The imp is grinning and rubbing his hands together "I like when we get company like you lot. Things always get exciting"
Finally He emerges straight through the wall behind the throne. A giant of a man, covered in a dark hooded robe and carrying a crooked staff. Every step he takes the staff hits the ground: CRASH!
It's only when he reaches the giant throne and sits upon it that he finally draws back his hood. Long jet black hair and a tanned, weathered face. Gargul. He looks intently at each of you in turn, and when done sits back comfortably on his throne and exhales deeply. It's hard to tell if he is grimacing or smiling.
"Pssst! This is where you lot say why you're here" Gimp gives a nudge to Lornak.
Lornak (Frank S.) HP: 32/79 AC: 24(T:13/FF:10) CMD:15(16) Friday December 7th, 2018 1:02:42 PM
Lornaks teeth chatter inside his head upon every Crash of the citadel. He closes his eyes and weathers it. He blinks slightly when the Gimp begins to speak. The utter terror coursing through him is only just kept at bay. He stands stiff and defiant before Gargul. Chaos of doubts spin inside his head. The Gimps words add to the deluge that is fret to overwhelm him until he is finally nudged out of his own head. Reality hits hard.
"Your harbinger..." Lornak's voice cracks a little under the pressure of talking to God. The God. "...that is the Soulseeker..." He continues slowly. He looks at Ethani and finds his resolve. He clears his throat, and takes a deep breath. "Judged us and found us worthy of your audience and has put us before you. For what purpose, we do not know." He bows deeply. "Regardless, we are at your service."
Lornak decides to take a gamble and continues to speak before Gargul answers. After all, at this point he has nothing to lose but his immortal soul; "I can only speak for myself as to the real reason I am here..." He locks eyes with Ethani. "...I mean to return my love back to the realm of the living by any means at my disposal." His eyes shift to the giant weathered face(but reflexively avoid its gaze.) "Of which you already know, I believe."
