Ashy's Oathbound Campaign, IC [ARCHIVED]

[Ashy]

Thinking that the creature may not be able to communicate in an understandable way from the actions it takes, Xerxes decides not to Manifest the power but continues to move forward to Tristian, watching the strange creature.

As Xerxes moves over towards Tristian, the many-legged lizard scuttles away about five feet, its head low and its tail tucked between its legs. A strange sound, a cross between a sqwak and a whimper escapes its beak as it looks to Tristian to save it from this new threat...

 

[hafrogman]

Tristan[ ] holds us his hands his a non-threatening gesture when the lizard scuttles away from Xerxes.

"Hey. . . don't worry. We're all friends here."

He points to every person present in turn and names them in a slow methodical fashion, so as not to get confusing.

"Raak"
"Tristan"
"Xerxes"
"Kyron"
"Kiera"
"Baja"
"PC"

"None of them will try to hurt you."

When he is done he looks down at the Raak. He reaches into his belt puch with slow, deliberate movements and pulls out some of his rations. He pulls out a scrap of dried meat and tears a chunk of for himself, which he eats. Then he kneels down and extends the rest towards Raak.

"Are you hungry? This is food."

 

[deadestdai]

Baja heard the talk about food and became even more frustrated.

Dem's bein' all nice to dat other person and offerin' foods and stuff - and not even make Baja well again so he can have foods and stuff! Me think me'll have some words with them friends when me better about loyalty to pals!

 

[Ferrix]

Kiera steels her resolve and fights off the stinging effects of the gaunt saliva, though her neck still hurts and she still bleeds from her wounds. The frey is still unmoving, although otherwise he seems to be mostly unhurt...

OOC: You'll need a Heal check to learn more....

OOC: Heal check 11 +13 = 24; Pity I don't have any neutralize poisons or remove paralysis spells memorized, they're probably going to have to wait it out.

Kiera will remain focused on the frey, her own wounds slight in comparison. She motions towards Baja, asking Voadam to see to him.

 

[Voadam]

Kyron nods to Kiera and strides over to Baja.

Hang on, I'm here to help you Baja. I'm going to boost your life force to combat the venom. But your body will have to fight to overcome it. Get ready.

Wiping away some bugs that were crawling on Baja's face, Kyron focuses the positive energy that makes up his body's life force and channels a burst of energy into the poisoned albino, boosting the barbarian's own life force.

ooc: second fort save for Baja with +2 sacred bonus.

 

[deadestdai]

If they could've, Baja's eyes would 've widened at the unexpected surge of energy stuff suddenly willing him to push the poisons out from his body. He allowed the flow to work through his muscles and did his best to force his muscles to work again.....

Spoiler

Fort +7, roll 13+7+2(bonus from Voadam) = 22

 

[Vendetta]

At the first sign of agitation in the new creature, Xerxes raises his hands in a peaceful manner and begins to back away from it. "I must resemble some of the people in this land that deal with this creature cruelly. I wonder how much that resembleance is?"

 

[Ashy]

OOC: Heal check 11 +13 = 24; Pity I don't have any neutralize poisons or remove paralysis spells memorized, they're probably going to have to wait it out.

Kiera will remain focused on the frey, her own wounds slight in comparison. She motions towards Baja, asking Voadam to see to him.

Kiera looks over the frey and her skilled eyes and mind, attuned to the ways of traditional healing, quickly deduce that the problem is two things. First, the frey still has some internal damage to his skull - nothing too terribly serious - yet something that still needs immediate attention. Secondly, the frey is in some sort of paralytic state, most likely originating from the saliva from the mouthes of the putrid, carrion-eating gaunt.

Kiera:

Spoiler

You think that a cure light will top off the damage done to PC, but even then, he will still be paralyzed unless you have remove poison or the like...

Baja:

Spoiler

That's enought to do it, Baja, the effects wear off slowly, leaving your muscles sore and limbs stiff...

"Are you hungry? This is food."

As Xerxes backs away, Raak seems to brighten, raising its head and wagging its stump again. You begin to think that it was more of an instinctive reaction to facing a possible enemy on two fronts than anything else, but you cannot be sure. Once you produce the food, however, all inhibitions seem to vanish and the small lizard scampers over to you quickly. As it takes the food with one of its long, gangly forepaws and sits on its haunches it paws Tristan's leg with the other. It hungrily devours the food, licking its pointed beak-mouth with a long purple tongue and then looks up to the fighter with its large watery eyes. "Rrrraaaakkkk!" it squawks again, as if wanting more...

The entire time, it's nostrils are constantly sniffing and snuffling, twitching this way and that....
