[QUOTE="CPaladin, post: 8413347, member: 7030144"] [session 66, cont'd] Two figures, both with silver sheens over their shifting monstrous features, are attacking the front gate. One of them is advancing on the gate, holding a long high glass sword that seems to be shifting in and out of reality. The other is just concentrating, but probably holding the gates open psionically. Dame Brionna orders the guards to dump the holy water cauldrons over the wall. It misses the warrior, but hits the psion squarely, who gives out a psionic shriek. Kit calls to Grandmaster Farsensor, asking him to go to the gate, and then calls for the Minister of the Mind to reinforce him. Dame Brionna orders the gate closed while the psion is distracted. The knight dives through the closing gate. “The Seal! Deliver the Seal of Ways to me!” Dame Brionna draws her sword and actually manages to beat him on initiative. “I have no wish to kill you, but I must have the Seal!” Dame Brionna attacks, missing with the first attack but hitting with the second (a smite evil), hitting him for 26 points of damage. His armor attempts to grab the sword and steal it from her, and the sight of the appendages is nauseating and profoundly wrong. The knight goes next, followed by the guards. “May the Insanity of the Maelstrom take you, woman!” A flurry of blows come in, and Dame Brionna gets hit three times. He rolls absolute minimum damage and does 36 hp of damage. The light and power of Glordiadel blocks something from her soul. The guards don’t accomplish much, but foul the knight’s sword a little. Dame Brionna flings an orb of dispel magic. The humanoid component of the appearance fades considerably; it’s now much more of a gibbering monstrosity. The silvery sheen remains, but is now dull and less natural. And it’s armor class is lowered by 3 to 28. And there was a brief flare around him, as it came to the final thing. Dame Brionna then hits him twice with her sword, for 30 damage and 22 damage. The edges of the first wound are acting like troll wounds—regenerating back together. He shrieks wildly. “It’s gone again! It’s gone again! It’s been concealed!” He shrieks, as if he’s lost his mind, and goes into a spinning dervish attack. Guards 1 (11), 2 (21), 4 (13), 7 (will not be having children, 46 points of damage, falls in shock for 6 hours, bleeding profusely) hit once Guards 3 (59 total) and 5 (28) get hit twice Guard 6 missed. Dame Brionna gets hit for 32 in two attacks. Guards attack, hitting 3 times for 30 points of damage, plus a 54 sword crit (inapplicable, changed to 10), doing an additional 21 points of damage and cutting out a piece of his shoulder. Round 3:A page runs up and hands Dame Brionna her spear. Dame Brionna attacks 3 times, hitting all three times. For 25 damage, 20 damage, and 26 damage. His blood is very odd—it’s silver. He drops out of the odd attacks he’s been doing, and his eyes lock on Dame Brionna. The knight spits on Dame Brionna. Silver spit sprays on her. It burns her as it makes contact. She saves and takes half damage (19 hp). He then attacks guard 3, and fumbles, getting a 46 on the fumble roll, missing completely. The guards attack, hitting 5 times including one crit. 50 hit points from the noncrits, 24 hit points from the crit, which is a 71 on the sword crits, and removes the knight’s eye. Dame Brionna’s warhorse arrives, kicks him for 14 hp damage. Outside the gate, it is now quiet. Dame Brionna leaps onto her warhorse and heals herself. One of the guards gives a shriek and collapses. Another guard bellows “The blood! The blood is moving!” Dame Brionna crits him with her spear, rolls a 99 on the crit check, and decapitates him. The body is writhing. Dame Brionna orders the guards to back away. It is beginning to glow. After a moment, it explodes, because it cannot regenerate the spear’s damage. Dame Brionna gets splattered for an additional 24 hit points of damage, and goes unconscious. <<Grandmaster Farsensor, is Dame Brionna alright?>> <<I am without—I’ve defeated the sidhe. I think it was a sidhe, one time>> <<Dame Constance, is Dame Brionna alive?>> <<I’m moving towards her—there’s crawling blood about, but she’s alive. That thing might be a sidhe, or might have been once. Have a paladin heal Dame Brionna. They are absolutely inundated in madness—it’s not even Chaos, I’ve never seen anything like it.>> <<How can we safely contain the bodies?>> <<Lead—there are lead lined corpse boxes in my laboratory.>> They send for the boxes. Grandmaster Farsensor was able to defeat the psion, but was seriously challenged. Alistair asks Grandmaster Farsensor to contact the local Tor and ask a leader from the Tor if they would be willing to meet him at the elven tree in the garden. [cont'd] [/QUOTE]
