[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 6027545, member: 52403"] [b]Dangerous things Libraries[/b] Pringle sulking wanders into another room which looks like it could have been a library at one point. However as he pokes through the remains of old ruined books a sudden chill descends upon him. Looking up from the floor an apparition glides out of one of the walls and descends upon him; driving its spectral hand into his chest he feels something tear inside of him as the Spectre pulls part of his life force out of his spasming chest and absorbs the energy into itself becoming more solid. “Could this get any worse” Pringle thinks to himself as he screams out loud in a wailing fear filled scream which makes the rest of the party jump. Then it does get worse as another Spectre slides into the room and forcibly removes another fragment of his soul into itself. Pringle in a panic retreats from them running through the doorway and into the corridor outside. They however effortlessly glide through the wall and they both attack Pringle again stripping his life from his body and leaving him with only the abilities of a fledgling adventurer and the lowest of spells left to him. Nashkar channels energy into them healing up the minor scrapes and bruises left the party and dealing some damage to the pair who recoil in pain at the onslaught. Sayuri fires off some force missiles which easily strike one of the pair ripping some of its insubstantial form asunder but it manages to hold itself together. Grembor fires off several arrows of which most pass through them; as Zordlan goes to shoot one but his arrows pass through them harmlessly. Pringle retreats again to hide behind the party while the Spectres advance upon the source of their pain and strip Nashkar of some of his life force reducing him to his knees with the shock as they both heal up some of the damage to their forms; they both grow more solid. Nashkar channels again with less effect than previously due to the result of the life draining touch of the undead but they both writhe in agony as the positive energy rips through them. Grembor again fires arrows each trailing fire towards them which seem to have more effect as the bust upon impact ripping the tenacious link to unlife of one of them close to final death. This one rounds upon Grembor intending to suck the life from him as the other still gazes down upon the kneeling dwarf. Zordlan draws his sword and steps before Sayuri to protect her. Pringle fires off a weak force missile from a wand as the Spectre’s move into action again. One which is still trailing smoke approaches Grembor and with a fond caress of his face sucks some of his life force out while the other manages to miss the almost prone dwarf with its life draining touch. Another channel and several arrows and force missiles later both Spectres and dismissed back to the netherworld with a scream of pain and anguish and the party are feeling decidedly weak and under prepared for this place. Unfortunately the Spectre’s had stripped the spells from Nashkar’s mind that would have helped restore their flagging powers and as there was only a few remaining rooms they had not explored yet they made the decision to continue onwards.
