[QUOTE="SnowleopardVK, post: 5644025, member: 6677945"] Episode 12: Fight it out again *** “Shield” Slaal muttered quickly, creating a glowing barrier that floated in front of him, adding an additional layer of protection to his Mage Armour. The wolf was unnerving; he knew he needed protection from it. Cortez’s wolf lunged, fangs bared, and the skeleton swung it scimitar. Slaal was a large target and was bitten and slashed, and he collapsed. “Slaal!” Maka shouted in alarm. She expelled another wave of positive energy into the air and the wizard groaned. Maka sighed in relief, he wasn’t dead! Her energy had also caused Cortez’s skeleton to crack however, and it made the monster turn on her. Maka was able to sidestep the swing of the undead lizardfolk’s blade, but she felt the pain of the wolf’s bite moments later. Slaal staggered to his feet and aimed his crossbow. It would not be an easy shot; Cortez was too close to Maka, and he felt dizzy in the presence of the wolf. He fired. It was a wide miss, going nowhere near its target. Cortez’s skeleton and the wolf moved back suddenly and the skeleton dismounted. “What in the world?” Slaal muttered as the smoke-bodied wolf dispersed into the air, “Is this some kind of attack?” “His spell has expired” Cortez’s ghost called from behind them, “Now is your chance.” “Right” Maka agreed, moving beside Slaal. “I think I can still manage one more of these.” She forced her final burst of positive energy around them, and both she and Slaal felt slightly rejuvenated. It was a weak burst though, and didn’t seem to be enough to have done much to the skeletal Cortez. “Can you handle the rest?” she asked. Slaal nodded. His head was clearing with the wolf gone, and he aimed his claw at the skeleton. “Acid Splash” he shouted, flinging a glob of magic… Right past the undead “Shoot” he grunted, “I can’t believe I missed such an…” Cortez’s skeleton lunged at him and swung its blade, slicing through Slaal’s robes and into his side! “…Easy shot” he gasped. Slaal fell to the deck, blood pooling around him. “Slaal!” Maka screamed in alarm as the wizard fell for the second time in the fight. “Don’t worry” she muttered, “I can still cast Cure Light Wounds. Just give me a moment to finish this.” With the she swung her mace, striking Cortez’s skeleton in the ribcage and shattering it! The whole cavern began to rumble at that moment and the light blue will-o-wisps floating around the ship swelled, lighting the sails with ghostly flame. “I have control amigos” Cortez’s ghost shouted, “Prepare to exit the cave!” The ship lurched forwards, smashing into the stone and sending both boulders and wood flying everywhere. After a moment of the ship grinding against the wall a beam of sunlight broke through! “There she is” Cortez sighed in relief. Within moments the single small beam of sunlight had widened and multiplied, and the ship soon forced itself through the rock, creating an opening and breaking through to the sunlight outside! They had escaped. To be continued... *** My computer went down and with it went my entire record of the campaign. Fortunately this wasn't the only computer I was keeping it on. I finally managed to get in touch with our DM though, who has copies of my campaign log that I've been sending to him. The game itself is actually on hold for a week because Slaal and Maka's players are camping and on a road trip respectively, but we're a fair bit ahead of what I've got posted up here, so I can keep updating without having to wait.
