[QUOTE="JoeNotCharles, post: 5005889, member: 79945"] The lightning flickers in the distance, and the rumble of thunder is muted. The creature's steps are not muted as it thunders towards the source of the irritating arrows, punts Mikara a couple of feet, and crushes her head. Orange smoke descends and takes the body away. [sblock=Blade,Tristan] Orange smoke pours from the acolytes' censers to shroud the sphere, and when it clears it leaves Mikara's mangled body on the floor. One of the acolytes quickly places a black shroud, covered with the symbols of Lauto in silver stitching, over the ruined face. The acolytes carry her to a bed and begin their ministrations, washing the body with a black cloth dipped in pure water from a silver bowl. The elderly priest chants over the body with a deep voice, sprinkling silver dust over the body. He occasionally has to pause to straighten the mangled limbs with sickening cracking noises. But somehow when he takes his hands away, the limbs are whole. Finally he whips the shroud from her face, which is perfectly restored, and bends to kiss her lightly on the lips. A moment later, her breast begins rising and falling. OOC: read Mikara's block too. [/sblock] [sblock=Mikara] You awake in a shadowy room. Your body feels numb, and you are weak from exhaustion. You are in a hard, uncomfortable bed, looking up at a vaulted stone ceiling overhead. A kindly looking old man with a stubble of grey and white beard leans over you. The holy symbol of Lauto hangs from his neck. [color="Magenta"]"Welcome back to the living,"[/color] he says kindly. [color="Magenta"]"Not a pretty way to die, crushed in the mud, but you are whole again now, and hopefully your next time across the threshold will be more pleasant. Alas, we who serve Lauto cannot interfere outside of the crossing of that threshold without special dispensation - which I am trying to obtain right now - so there was no way we could intervene to keep you alive. But as you perished in Lauto's service, we were able to at least spare you some of the tedium of having your body fetched back to town."[/color] He seems completely at ease discussing such morbid subjects. [color="Magenta"]"Some of your friends are already here,"[/color] he says, waving to your left. You turn your head stiffly to see Tristan and Blade lying on similar beds. [color="Magenta"]"And you can follow the progress of your other friends while you wait to recover."[/color] He waves to your right, where two acolytes stand flanking a large 5 foot orb, which looks down on the scene of your battle from above. [color="Magenta"]"I'm afraid you will be very weak for a time. Don't let it disturb you - your strength should return soon, and then you can be on your way. You [i]will[/i] have to pay the resurrection fee, unfortunately - Lauto does not permit us to provide service for free, even if you do deserve it in this case. Uh, sorry."[/color] He tucks a slip of paper into your hand. [sblock=Paper] Mikara Le Mesadh, having arrived in the arms of Lauto in the most dire state of death, and been returned from this state by the intercession of His priests, now owes the Temple of Lauto the sum of 500 gold. [/sblock] [/sblock] [sblock=Status] Dextyr moves to I7 and uses Second Wind, regaining 7 HP. Mikara crawls to D10 and misses the Elemental with Twin Strike. Tonk misses the Elemental with Deft Strike, moves to O10 and hides with Stealth 16. Like I said last turn, lightning passes this round. It'll be back next turn. The Stone Elemental's bear hug does not recharge: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2330969/]Bear Hug recharge (1d6=4)[/url]. It uses a move + charge to move to D11 and attack Mikara: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2330975/]Slam vs Mikara (w/+1 charge, +2 combat advantage) (1d20+10+1+2=32, 2d8+5=13)[/url] Mikara's dying (and pushed to D9). It uses an AP to Coup de Grace: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2330977/]Slam vs Mikara (+2 combat advantage) (1d20+10+2=22, 2d8+5=10)[/url] 10 more damage takes her to -12, negative bloodied. Mikara dies. The tree stumps are difficult terrain, the trees themselves are blocking terrain and block line of sight. Due to the mud, everyone's speed is reduced by 2 - you can run to move at regular speed, but must make a DC 15 Balance check - if you fail, you can't move, if you fail by 5 or more, you fall prone. Don't forget the elemental's Reach 2 when checking for opportunity attacks. Your turns! Dextyr, unless I miscounted you still have an AP left - you should probably use it while you still can.
