(Inactive) Psion's Return to the Tomb of Horrors (IC)

[Psion]

As he completes his spell, a living flame swirls to life before him. The pillar of flame lashes out with fiery appendages at the waterlogged corpse. The heat of the fire elemental causes the cold water to explode into a burst of steam as it is ripped apart.

Doorgath turns to the shambling corpse in front of Peja and unleashes another spell, bringing down a column of flame on the creature. In another burst of steam and holy fire, the creature crumbles.

Ari, Peja, act at your leisure.

Two creatures remain. One on Ari, one on Reisha.

Peja, who from Khale's doorway watched Ari unleash a fury of chain lightening, figures the charmingly volatile lass can ably handle her own threat and moves over to Reisha to aid the hulking bear. With all the force he can muster after a long day's march and the sudden onslaught of walking dead, Peja thrusts his walking stick at the undead creature attacking Reisha.

[sblock=Psion]Move and attack. +1 Quarterstaff of Undead Bane. Attack +14, 3d6+5 dmg vs undead. If Peja does not have to move more than 5 feet to attack the undead on Reisha, then he will take his full attack option. Full attack +14/+9, 3d6+5 dmg vs undead.[/sblock]

 

[Psion]

Peja moves to repulse the creature accosting Ari. The creature, already charred from having taken the bulk of Ari's electrical fury, collapses under the first blow from Peja's blessed staff.

[sblock=Next up]
Ari.

There's one creature left, on Reisha (Doorgath's Dire Bear companion.)

Garrel queues up with a normal action and swings away at the baddies he can reach...

[sblock=OOC]
It occurs to me Reisha never acted, and there's no reason it wouldn't maul a creature right in front of it.
[/sblock]

Reisha fiercely snarls as it grabs the undead creature with both paws and mauls it. The undead creature lasts longer than the human it once was ever would have, but nonetheless, the necromantic energies holding the creature together do not prevail.

There are no more undead creatures that you can see or otherwise sense. What do you do?

Ari will move to the fallen man who left the inn and see if there is any chance of saving his life. If so, she will call one of the clerics over; otherwise, she will return to her companions.

One leg has been torn out, and the corpse's head looks half bitten of. He's dead.

Peja frowns at the fallen form of the undead creature in front of Ari. Crossing a few steps to stoop to examine the dead dockworker, Peja has a look at the man's wounds. Standing back up with a grunt, Peja says, "We'll want to burn these bodies, lest they come back a second time to feed." The dwarven priest of Delundar toes the dead dockworker. "This one especially, and soon. I've seen men killed and come back lit with undeath themselves in a matter of hours. It's as if they're animated by a thousand crawling grubs, they way their bodies jerk and swag. Fire is what we want. It'll burn away any chance of pestilence."

 

[Psion]

To Peja, these appear to be wights, and powerful ones. You know that they return quickly. You want to burn this thing quickly. In fact, you think you see the thing shambling to unlife now...

Gerrel, still ready for action, smashes the corpse before it can strike.

Ari jumps back as the Goliath strikes down the corpse before her.

"Watcher!" she exclaims. "If the change happens this quickly, we may not have the option of moving them." She looks at the gathering crowd, hearing the sound of the approaching watch. "Although I doubt the authorities would look kindly on our burning corpses in the middle of the city."

Ari stands. "Peja, Doorgath, do either of you know what might have caused this? I am not well-versed in the ways of unlife, but it has been my understanding that such things--" She nods at the defeated wights. "--do not occur on their own." Shivering, she adds, "I do not like this mist."
