The Last Gods - In Game - The Candlelight Avengers

[Lord_Raven88]

You all heave on the rings in your hands at the same time and hear a series of gears grind to life below your feet. Looking over the edge you see the bridge slowly rising from the canyon floor far below.

But, that's not the only change in your environment. Another eye, this one smaller and attached to a stalk, snakes out from behind the beholder and blasts where you stand with a ray, just as the central eye winks shut. You feel a lurch and then a slam as you fall to the ground momentarily dazed and blinded. Well, not exactly blinded but everything is out of focus, as if you're looking out of someone elses eyes.

Azrim closes his eyes and reaches up to touch his face, holding his hand in front of his face he opens his eyes and gazes at his hand.

Athear tries to stand. Reaching for his sword he looks toward his companions. Thinking "man that hurt, are they alright?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Jharvym's readied action is triggered when they are attacked. He attempts to Dimension Slide out of the area. If necessary, he will add a Hustle and use two Dimension Slides instead of one

A special beholder indeed )

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Spirits of fire and damnation, what was that?" Kori exclaims, pressed to the ground, her eyes darting about searching for more danger.

 

[D20Dazza]

Azrim touches his face, something seems wrong, he holds his hand up before his eyes, surely that isn't his.

Athear gazes at his friends who are slowly rising to their feet, they all appear to be OK but then he notes that there appears to be a new member of the party, an elf dressed exactly as he is.

Kori's eyes alight upon a body slowly rising a couple of feet away from her. The body is dressed exactly as she is.

As you stand you all see that the central eye of the beholder is again staring at you and the eyestalk is retreating.

OOC: Rystil where were you DSing to? And how long does it take, it's a 6 second window of opportunity you have.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

"Incredible it can only be trans-ocular-location, we're literally seeing thru each others eyes" seeing the central eye beginning to open "I suggest we cross the bridge as quickly as possible before we have any other nasty surprises"

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Dimension Sliding 50 feet away to dodge the blast, and another 50 feet if that isn't enough)

 

[ringojim]

Athear puts a hand on his sword hilt and challenges Where did you come from Elf? Who sent you?

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Jharvym eithers looks on from his position safely to the side or if somehow hit him anyway, from amongst the group while someone else undoubtably finds him or herself off to the side.*

""Damn it! It looks like the thing has switched mind and body! I only hope that everyone trained in combat is still in an able body, then, and that the effects are temporary. None of these defenses are deadly though...is this place trying to just annoy us so much that we'll leave?"

 

[ringojim]

What! You say we've changed bodies?Athear looks down trying to work out if this is true whose body he is in.
