Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio faintly hears the rogue's brash words and sees him disappear under the surface...

			Will the boon protect us...? Not from an airborne boulder it won't...

He runs to Bannock and hums a few notes while waving his hand over him

OOC: Cure Light Wounds

, then scoops up the bracers and turns towards the stairs.

"Unless you can stop that thing Arnir our brash young friend Lars has the right of it, get under the water as quick and as deep as you can!"

 

[Bannock]

Bannock picks up the remainder of the things Sidoneth dropped, and gives the wand to Arnir, then follows Kirio towards the stairs.

"Let's go!"

 

[Gregor]

GM: Let me be a bit clearer here. We're off initiative, but this storm is going to consume you all in under a minute. I'm measuring time in your actions, so while we do not necessarily need to operate an order, you're still restricted to the number of actions you could accomplish within a round. So Bannock, if you would like to pick up those items and begin to move, that is acceptable, but you would not be able to make it downstairs, through the water and into the tomb. You can edit accordingly.

 

[digimattic]

OOC: if 1 minute is 10 rounds, Arnir is going to do the following: move action - get to the pilar and collect orb fragments move action - put orb fragments in bag, free action - take wand from Bannock move action - start booooooking it down the stairs I'm not exactly sure what the rest of the party is doing. If they're all diving down, then that's cool, Arnir does that. Do we have enough time to get back into the Pyromancer's tomb?

 

[Gregor]

[sblock="for Arnir"]Arnir, perhaps it is because you've already identified the orb, but as soon as you touch the control wand you gain an instant understanding of its function. You are aware that if you merely will it, you can cause the hurricane/twister to end.[/sblock]

 

[digimattic]

Arnir races down the stairs before stopping dead in his tracks as Bannock passes him the wand. Simply holding it in his hands, he wills the storm to dissipate...and for dry clothes, a crackling fire, and a skin of wine...but he will take what he can get.

 

[Gregor]

Phew!

It all happens so fast, one moment you're rushing to get to safety as a crushing cyclone descends upon you. Arnir raises the wand to the sky and wills the storm to end amidst flying debris, whipping rain and cracks of lightning.

Then its instantly over. It is as if the cyclone and the surrounding hurricane just vanish over a matter of seconds. The wind dies down, huge pieces of rock, masonry, trees and even ships scooped up from the sea cascade down in a rain of detritus. The clouds above part, being carried away by the natural sea breezes and a pale moon and clear sky of stars peers down at you.

Finally you can relax. Lee has been defeated and the storm threatening Seaquen and the Elven fleet has been halted.

 

[digimattic]

Arnir strides down the stairs beaming until he sees the dismembered remains of Hrmir bobbing up and down in the water "DAMMIT!" he curses

[sblock="For GM"]Arnir, without realizing wills for a flurry of lightning strikes on whatever remains of the Gargoyle in the water, or whatever else is a suitable target for his anger.[/sblock]

 

[Gregor]

[sblock="for Arnir"]You will your rage to be made manifest via the wand, but now that the storm has been extinguished nothing seems to be happening.[/sblock]

Kirio shrugs sadly looking at the mutilated remains of their friend, he cast curative magic on Bannock twice more, then wades into the water to retrieve Hrimr's corpse... "Will one of you help me with this? He was short but quite stout. I will admit to not always seeing eye to eye with him, but found him... earthy and mildly reassuring to have around. At any rate he does not deserve to be left to the fish. We should also try and find his war hammer..." Kirio begins dragging the disgusting mass of shredded and dismembered dwarf to the shore, while scanning the water for his weapon.
