--------------------
Silken hair the color of spun gold; eyes the dark blue of deep ocean but shot through with silver; skin the hue of milk with just a hint of chocolate. Manachan was a sensation among his much darker Varisian clan – plainly proof that their kapenia showed true and that their line was descended from divinity.
The Aingeali clan claims descent in direct line from Irori himself, though the claim has been disputed by many. The birth of Manachan, with his very unusual coloring, has been taken as proof by his parents and others of the clan. In many ways, the young man had a charmed childhood.
However, the pressure on him to live up to his ancestor’s divine example has been tremendous, and has led to great internal conflict between the wild ways of his nationality and the discipline espoused by his perfect ancestry. In an effort to resolve this conflict, Manachan left his clan at the age of 13 to enter a small monastery devoted to Irori. He has spent the last four years there, training relentlessly and learning that the path to perfection requires, for him at least, a balance between freedom and discipline, and carefully maintained contradiction between his clan’s nature and his ancestor’s teachings. Adding to his difficulties, about a year after entering the monastery his sorcerous abilities manifested. The instinctual nature of his magic disrupted even further the strict discipline required by the teachings of the monks.
Now 17 and finished with his studies at the monastery, Manachan has found that balance and been released into the world to continue his struggles toward perfection. A confident, outgoing young man with an easy humor and tremendous ability, he has found it fairly easy thus far to make his way.
Now at loose ends and with no instruction other than to find his own way to pursue his perfection, Manachan resolved to return to Korvosa – he had met a young scholar (Edmond) there on one of his errands for the monastery and they had struck a fast friendship. He was fascinated with the life of the sprawling city and decided that learning more of it would provide him some valuable lessons for his path.
Manachan dresses in dark, smoky oranges and forest greens, typically wearing a narrow kilt like wrap from the waist down and either going bare chested or donning a simple tunic – depending on weather and social requirements of his current location. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail. Other than eyebrows his body is completely lacking secondary hair. He wears his bata strapped to his back, along with his crossbow. All of his other belongings he carries in a sack – to be dropped at a moment’s notice in case of a need to defend himself.[/sblock]

Mhairi giggles to herself as she catches the higher Urgathoan's scythe arm on her armoured left shoulder. Blessings of the gods are incredible. I feel invincible! she thinks, adding "You need to do better than that, fly boy!". Swinging her starknife upward (everything was upward for the diminutive half-caste) toward her wounded opponent's face as a distraction she glanced toward the stairs, timing a spin behind the Urgathoan in front of her.
Gotcha now... She strikes again with her rapier, aiming to pierce the back of the neck this time, rather than just a shoulder.
[sblock=ooc]
Move action: Acrobatics to move through C7 and D6 (20' move). 1d20+13=19, 1d20+13=20. DC = their CMD.
Std action: Attack #3, flank kindly provided by Ignatius. 1d20+9+1(bless)+2(flank)=20, 1d6+3d6=10
Ugh...woeful rolling!!

Deathwail whistles once again and this time bites into the flesh.

Mhairi's strike sends the Urgathoan collapsing to the floor. Glancing behind her she sees that the vat is full of some kind of seething bloodlike substance. Whatever it is, it looks like bad news.
Edmond injures the priest on the stairs, but does not take him out of the fight with either blade nor spell.

Silken hair the color of spun gold; eyes the dark blue of deep ocean but shot through with silver; skin the hue of milk with just a hint of chocolate. Manachan was a sensation among his much darker Varisian clan – plainly proof that their kapenia showed true and that their line was descended from divinity.
The Aingeali clan claims descent in direct line from Irori himself, though the claim has been disputed by many. The birth of Manachan, with his very unusual coloring, has been taken as proof by his parents and others of the clan. In many ways, the young man had a charmed childhood.
However, the pressure on him to live up to his ancestor’s divine example has been tremendous, and has led to great internal conflict between the wild ways of his nationality and the discipline espoused by his perfect ancestry. In an effort to resolve this conflict, Manachan left his clan at the age of 13 to enter a small monastery devoted to Irori. He has spent the last four years there, training relentlessly and learning that the path to perfection requires, for him at least, a balance between freedom and discipline, and carefully maintained contradiction between his clan’s nature and his ancestor’s teachings. Adding to his difficulties, about a year after entering the monastery his sorcerous abilities manifested. The instinctual nature of his magic disrupted even further the strict discipline required by the teachings of the monks.
Now 17 and finished with his studies at the monastery, Manachan has found that balance and been released into the world to continue his struggles toward perfection. A confident, outgoing young man with an easy humor and tremendous ability, he has found it fairly easy thus far to make his way.
Now at loose ends and with no instruction other than to find his own way to pursue his perfection, Manachan resolved to return to Korvosa – he had met a young scholar (Edmond) there on one of his errands for the monastery and they had struck a fast friendship. He was fascinated with the life of the sprawling city and decided that learning more of it would provide him some valuable lessons for his path.
Manachan dresses in dark, smoky oranges and forest greens, typically wearing a narrow kilt like wrap from the waist down and either going bare chested or donning a simple tunic – depending on weather and social requirements of his current location. He keeps his hair tied in a ponytail. Other than eyebrows his body is completely lacking secondary hair. He wears his bata strapped to his back, along with his crossbow. All of his other belongings he carries in a sack – to be dropped at a moment’s notice in case of a need to defend himself.[/sblock]

Ignatius' gaze sweeps briefly from right to left as he decides where to focus his attention. In that moment he decides that Rolth and the blinded priest are best positioned to taste Sarenrae's power. He takes a few quick steps to Mhairi's side, looking up as he raises his right hand above his mouth and his voice booms outward in the holy tongue.
[sblock=Celestial]"Some outbreaks are best purged with fire!"[/sblock]With the last syllable he blows out his breath and a whirling torrent of flames forms in his hand once again before spilling out and rolling over the fell necromancer and his nearest companion.
OOC: Move to D5 and cast burning hands (I am assuming it can get them from around there).
Burning Hands (DC 17): 5d4=11 Fire

Ignatius' fire washes over Rolth and the priest beside him. Although they gain a measure of protection from the catwalk, both seem somewhat burned and shaken by the attack. Rolth levels his finger at Ignatius and chants a spell, but Manachan's magic missile catches him in the chest, and the spell fizzles. The priest next to him moves across abd reaches over the catwalk, dipping the tip of his scythe into the vat of nastiness. He swaps places with the priest who was blinded by Manachan's spell, who has now shaken it off and who moves to Rolth's side, healing some of the necromancer's injuries with a spell.
The three other priests move forwards with their sycthes. One slashes at Ignatius, another rushes towards Manachan. Both draw blood. Although he has the advantage of height, the third cultist has trouble getting past Edmond's reach and fails to connect.
[sblock=OOC]
Rolth - casts spell but fails concentration against damage.
P1 - move north, dip scythe.
P2 - move, attack Ignatius, hit for 9 damage.
P4 - move, attack Manachan, hit for 9 damage.
P5 - 5 ft. step, attack Edmond, miss.
P6 - makes save, move, cast spell.
[MENTION=1231]Kaodi[/MENTION], you can read the spoiler block for Mowgli above, since Ignatius made his Spellcraft check too.
