Ashin's Commission: The Great Escape!

*Ironwolf drops the male Chevalier with his powerful strike, and he nearly finishes the woman as well, except that she leaps away and only receives a much smaller wound.*

(OOC: E3 drops. Confirmation roll failed on the cleave. E2 has 51 - 6y)

"My poor Chevaliers! You people are truly vicious, do you know that? But don't kill Julia! She was the priestess here before I came. Have you no pity? Have you no mercy?" Aglaia asks, "Come now, wouldn't you rather join me? I could fulfill your greatest wishes, and bring you pleasure you could never imagine..."

*She makes a caressing motion again, and again everyone is filled with pleasure. A voice from within whispers in each mind, beckoning them to calm down, stop fighting, and enter Aglaia's embrace. It tempts them each with their greatest dreams, and it seems clear that they can receive them if they follow her.*

(OOC: There is no magical compulsion to do so, but let me know if anyone wants to. I'll assume not--PCs are stubborn sorts. If yes, I'll retcon the next bit.)

*Aglaia shakes her head.*

"Stubborn as always, I see...such a terrible shame. Very well then...I guess this is just how it must be."

*All involved finally discover the purpose of the four tantalising cuts along the side of Aglaia's dress. Four long tentacled tendrils with stingers on the end lash out. Two strike Hulgyr and pump him full of a soul-numbing poison, causing him to drop to the ground, unconscious. The other two twist downwards after Ironwolf, but his amorpha blocks one that would have been a critical strike, and he resists the poison from the other attack. The tentacles then retract, and Aglaia's flesh in those four spots returns to the way it was before, smooth, soft, and pristine.*

(OOC: Hulgyr takes 29 Damage and two negative levels, putting him at -2

Ironwolf takes 10 Damage

Eternity and Zaeryl's turn. Keep in mind that Michael stabilised last turn)
 


(OOC: Two badguys. The female Chevalier had been flanking Ironwolf with the male, but he was dropped, so she's still in range on his south-east side. Aglaia is flying overhead, out of range for you, but in range for her because she has longer reach

Not your turn quite yet though--still Eternity and Zaeryl)

Eternity looks back and forth between Hulgyr and Michael. If she helped Michael, he might be able to help Hulgyr. If he couldn't though Hulgyr might die without her, just as Almayce had. Hating herself for it she chooses her friend over someone she still hasn't rebuilt her trust. Eternity makes her way as safely as possible back to Hulgyr with the intention of using the last of her healing to at least prevent his rage from killing him.

ooc: hard not to metagame the knowledge that Michael stabilized.
 


*Eternity heads back towards Hulgyr. Meanwhile, Zaeryl bolsters Ironwolf's attack on the final Chevalier while moving into a flanking position. Also, the construct finally manages to catch up to her, making a single attack, but it's a decently strong one.*

(OOC: E2 takes 5, 56 - 6y)

*Meanwhile, the other construct sits and does nothing.*

*The female chevalier, badly hurt by all these attacks, heals herself on the defensive.*

(OOC: Recovers 12, 44 - 7y now)

*Ironwolf slams into her, hurting her again.*

(OOC: Now she's taken 63 - x - 7y)

*Aglaia shakes her head and makes another round of attacks. Although two attacks hit Ironwolf through the amorpha, the construct that was waiting grabs onto the end of her stinger and slams her against the ground, taking a poisonous jab in the process but ignoring it because it is a construct. Meanwhile, Ironwolf resists most of the poison, but he does lose a bit of energy.*

(OOC: Ironwolf takes 22 more Damage and one negative level, but Aglaia is on the ground. Zaeryl and Eternity again)
