Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Seven Days to the Grave

Kaodi

Hero
Just as Andaisin hand rises to deliver her dark touch, Ignatius feels a tugging on his spirit from somewhere... beyond. Instinctively he closes his eyes an instant before her beam strikes and the fell power breaks upon him like a wave on the rocky shore.

OOC: Fort Save: 1d20+4=24 Wow, that was some fortunate fortitude.

Mhairi

Oh, what is it with these cultists? We were having a civilized conversation and she goes and magicks Iggy. What is wrong with them?![/I] Mhairi thought, rather rhetorically. Almost on instinct, she flung the starknife in her hand at the "noble" woman as she continued her trek around the circular room - risking a glance back at Ignatius to see if he was more-or-less OK. The throw went wild, not even within a foot of the airborne woman.

Disgusted with her reflex throw, Mhairi thought I can't reach her up there. Stupid bloody magic... She reached for her crossbow in lieu of the starknife that had occupied her left hand, silently praying for better luck next time.

[sblock=ooc&combat block]

Right hand: MW Rapier

Not for the first time does Ignatius wish his opponent could comprehend his glorious pronouncements. The ifrit opens his eyes to the narrow position, a look of determination on his face. His right foot slides forward as his arm extends out, palm raised flat. Streaks of flame swirl around him and come to rest before the palm of his outstretched hand, creating what seems to be a little sun, burning bright. [sblock=Celestial]"For too long now this place has been denied the Blessing of the Dawnflower! I will show you but the tiniest speck of her cleansing power!"[/sblock] The ball of fire then shoots forth and blossoms in a fiery explosion that engulf the fell priestess, part of the statue of the Pallid Princess, and several of the southern alcoves.

Fireball (DC 19): 6d6=25 Fire

[sblock=OOC]I know . . . I know :(. The long weekend went well, but the week after has been one disaster after another. This morning's the first time I've had to really sit down and spend any significant time posting. So here we go . . .[/sblock]

I don't like this, not at all. OK, a little help for my friends first . . . crap, they're out of range. OK, we start with the fiend, then!

Deliberations complete, Manachan fires off three bolts of arcane energy at Andaisin.

Silken hair the color of spun gold; eyes the dark blue of deep ocean but shot through with silver; skin the hue of milk with just a hint of chocolate. Manachan was a sensation among his much darker Varisian clan – plainly proof that their kapenia showed true and that their line was descended from divinity.

The Aingeali clan claims descent in direct line from Irori himself, though the claim has been disputed by many. The birth of Manachan, with his very unusual coloring, has been taken as proof by his parents and others of the clan. In many ways, the young man had a charmed childhood.

However, the pressure on him to live up to his ancestor’s divine example has been tremendous, and has led to great internal conflict between the wild ways of his nationality and the discipline espoused by his perfect ancestry. In an effort to resolve this conflict, Manachan left his clan at the age of 13 to enter a small monastery devoted to Irori. He has spent the last four years there, training relentlessly and learning that the path to perfection requires, for him at least, a balance between freedom and discipline, and carefully maintained contradiction between his clan’s nature and his ancestor’s teachings. Adding to his difficulties, about a year after entering the monastery his sorcerous abilities manifested. The instinctual nature of his magic disrupted even further the strict discipline required by the teachings of the monks.

Now 17 and finished with his studies at the monastery, Manachan has found that balance and been released into the world to continue his struggles toward perfection. A confident, outgoing young man with an easy humor and tremendous ability, he has found it fairly easy thus far to make his way.

Now at loose ends and with no instruction other than to find his own way to pursue his perfection, Manachan resolved to return to Korvosa – he had met a young scholar (Edmond) there on one of his errands for the monastery and they had struck a fast friendship. He was fascinated with the life of the sprawling city and decided that learning more of it would provide him some valuable lessons for his path.

Manachan dresses in dark, smoky oranges and forest greens, typically wearing a narrow kilt like wrap from the waist down and either going bare chested or donning a simple tunic – depending on weather and social requirements of his current location. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail. Other than eyebrows his body is completely lacking secondary hair. He wears his bata strapped to his back, along with his crossbow. All of his other belongings he carries in a sack – to be dropped at a moment’s notice in case of a need to defend himself.[/sblock]

Andaisin tries to deflect first Ignatius' fireball, then Manachan's force missiles with her scythe, to no effect either time. Burned and angry, she strides through the air to stand above the statue of Urgathoa, and sweeps her scythe around in an imperious gesture. A wave of dark energy ripples outwards, knifing through Ignatius, Mhairi and Manachan with a cold touch. Edmond arrives at the mouth of the tunnel beside Manachan.

The ifrit brushes off the worst effects of the wave of negative energy and says a prayer to Sarenrae, asking for her blessing, as he moves to a position between his allies.

Manachan laughs at the demon-spawns attempts to corrupt his Angelic soul; inside, he plans his next attack . . .

[sblock=OOC]Will Save (1d20+10=28). I'll wait for his turn as I'm time limited right now in RL; likely it'll be another Magic Missile.[/sblock]
