[AU] Stone Bones

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet obviously shares the assessments of his companions, hacking away grimly with his greatsword.* "These things.... We need a scythe" (OOC: Or great cleave. )

dak

Dak begins to ensorcell another rock. His gritted teeth make his chanting sound strained and onerous.

[ooc: casts earth burst. ]

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*As Leesea begins to examine the grayfolk, she suddenly realizes that healing won't avail her. Their bones looked to be crushed on first glance, but then a second glance tells her that their heads were crushed not from the impact, but from something above...*

*Phaern dives above the mouth-rats with a will, slashing his blade through the mass of them, sizzling several of the little vermin with storm-wrought power. Darthallys joins him in the mayhem, slicing through the mouth-rats like a farmer scythes through wheat. Atlas also bends to with a will, squashing the creatures with a swing of his staff.*

*Wil looks upward through the fault-finder and sees no faults in the ceiling. However, he does notice the large bat-like creature that dives out of the blue haze toward the party, moaning as it does so. The moan sets ones teeth on edge and makes it hard to even swing their weapons.*

*The mouth-rats continue to swarm around Atlas, Darthallys, Indacalis, and the mule, chomping into everyone but the mage blade. Horribly, Atlas feels the tiny creatures actually burrowing into his skin, itching terribly and making him feel ill.*

*Kelthet steps into the fray, swinging his greatsword through the diminishing hoard, while Indacalis' spell of bursting earth crushes the last of them beneath stone rubble. Above the party the unearthly moan of the bat-creatures continues to grate on your ears.*


[OOC - Phaern hits for 11 points of damage. Darthallys hits a 20 for 14 points of damage. Atlas hits a 20 for 10 points of damage. Indacalis takes 10 points of damage, Atlas takes 7 points of damage and 2 points of Con damage, Darthallys takes 8 points of damage, and the mule takes 8 points of damage. Kelthet hits a 15 for 12 points of damage, and Indacalis hits a 24 for 8 points of damage.]

dak

[ooc: have we killed both swarms? or just the one closest to us?]

Dak fishes in his pouch, and pulls out a fleshy mushroom. He takes Atlas' hand in, to get the giant's attention.

"Eat this. I'll he'p th' itchin'."

[healing fungus, as lesser battle healing for 1d6+1.]

 

[rangerjohn]

"Thank you friend," Atlas replies before eating the mushroom. *He is barely able to get the thing down with the ensuing nausa.*

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet turns his attention above, to the bat thing.* "That is our true enemy, it seems" *He does his best to swing at the thing when it comes within range*

 

[rknop]

Dar looks around his feet with distaste. "Vermin," he spits. He'll look around to make sure that there aren't any mouth-rats surviving; if there are, he will see to them with his Sibbecai Kopesh.

If not, he'll turn his attention overhead, holding his athane at the ready.

-Darthallys

 

[Rybaer]

Leesea is shocked at the condition of the grayfolk. She quickly turns her attention back to finding the flying creature. If she can get a clear shot, she will hit it with the Unerring Stone.

 

[Erekose13]

Phaern too turns his attention to the flying creature. He knows that mobility is key to aerial battles. He quickly chants another spell that will grant his wings greater control. Then takes up a position above the group, ready to strike out with his energy blade.

[cast flight to increase speed and maneuverability]

dak

Dak grins at Atlas.

"Them mushrooms's good for what ails you, but they don't go down so easy."

He looks up.

Reckon it's time to hex old betsy.

He then begins to invoke the spirts of wood and beast, thanking them for their saccrifice and asking them to bless his crossbow to make it's bolts fly true and srong.
