[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5004876, member: 82679"] Merry blinks with confusion when she looks at the set of ghostly hands on the railing, then immediately grabs Jill's hand and drags her towards the road where they came from. Jill seems fixated on her doll, that now lies discarded at Thok's feet, but cannot struggle free from her sister's grasp. [B]"Stop squirming Jill, leave that blasted rag doll!"[/B] Merry says with an agitated voice. Meanwhile, Peth and Kye are left alone at the bridge, with puffs of white steam coming from their mouths as they breathe hard. A ghostly apparition appears before Thok, semi transparent and pure white, as if woven from mountain mists. It is the figure of a young woman, dressed in a long old fashioned dress, with lace on the sleeves and the edges of her collar. Her skirt and hair wave around as if some unseen wind is blowing trough them. The Lady's face is veiled by an ever shifting cover of a cloud like scarf, only two eyes visible above, the color of ice and death. Even though the Barbarian is no expert on Undead, he can feel an overwhelming power emanating from the being, making the hairs on his arms and neck stand up. The lady hisses and darts towards Thok, her arm outstretched in his direction. [sblock]An here she is! Knowledge checks for anyone interested (I know Peth will be). Actions as well. Here is a map to orientate you guys better: [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/rvved1.jpg[/IMG] Later on i will make my maps with a grid of 5 x 5 squares.
