IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 2

[Leif]

(OOC - Sadly, Resistance won't help now. Charisma checks aren't saves.)

OOC: True enough, but Uulark doesn't know that. All he knows is that something bad is happening to him, and this spell can sometimes help.

OOC: Hey! But what would help is Eagle's Splendor if someone could cast that for him!

 

[Scotley]

Rogash begins a search looking for anything that might be magical or helpful.

Talishia casts her spell and the shelves, along with the table in the center of the room, light up under her magical eyes. She turns in a slow circle watching the small auras beckon to her, and she can only utter one awestruck word... motherload.

"By Gruumsh's left nut," shouts Buurt as he arrives with the wolf. "What happened here?"

OOC

Obviously, yes, Buurt would have followed Dyspear.

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia starts riffling scrolls, reading the titles. Almost straightaway she holds one up, squinting slightly as her lips move.

"This won't cure you," she says after a moment, "but it should help buy you some time. Time to get to a temple, I think. I don't see any potions in here, and there may be some down those stairs, but I don't think you have time to take that risk!"

She then holds the scroll up and starts reading. The scroll bursts into a slow burning eldritch green flame as she speaks strange syllables of arcane speech. As she finishes the spell, the scroll evaporates into a fine ash...which glows green and collects into a whorl in the air. As Uulark watches apprehensively, that magic powder arrows straight at him, scratching his beard and throat as he gasps inadvertantly and lets the spell in.

The result is almost immediate. Uulark feels...better about himself. More confident, more sure of himself. Fending off the encroaching chaos becomes easier! Of course it does! He's awesome!

(using Eagle's Splendor on Uulark in hopes of buying him some time. Yee! Nice scrolls. Now I just need someone to cast a Magic Circle and I'm set!)

 

[Leif]

Uulark Simental, Cleric7, AC18,FF15,T13, HP28/35

"Bless you, Talashia! Oh my stars, I DO feel bettter! Just you wait here while I dash off to the temple to take care of this more permanently." Uulark looks as if he will sprint to the temple straightaway. Then, thinking more, he stops and quickly shucks his armor, his spear, his backpack, and any other unusually heavy items that he was carrying. Then he heads out to the nearest temple having regained the power of his Celerity Doman (40' Move).

 

[Leif]

Uulark is double-timing it, to say the least.

Next Charisma check--raw roll without taking Eagle's Splendor spell into account: 5 2nd charisma check. Raw roll wihtout moifiers. (1d20=5)

OUCH!! He's not going to make it this time.

Uulark's skin begins to bubble as he sheads his armor and heavy equipment, and his legs feel as if they're beginning to melt. He can feel the madness of chaos seeping in, but quickly regains his composure as he shucks the last of his gear.

(OOC) I took the liberty of rolling your next save for you to speed things along--a 19 on the die, so I didn't bother adding any modifiers. You've got 60 seconds before you need another roll, and that'll get you about halfway to the temple at full speed. Aren't you glad we're not playing a Modern game?

So for now, you're at -1 wisdom, and halfway to the temple. Want me to continue rolling to get this over with, or do you want to do it?

 

[Leif]

Want me to continue rolling to get this over with?

YES, IG, please do so!!!

 

[Friadoc]

OOC

IG, does Buurt have enough of idea what's going on to know it'd be a good idea that Uulark not run off to the temple on his own?

Also, if someone else is going with him, Buurt will help tear the place apart, top to bottom, in a very thorough search/tossing of the place.
