CLOSED Pathfinder: Rise of the Runelords, Burnt Offerings

[Rhun]

Danth grits his teeth and again slashes at the Yeth hound, the razor-honed edge of his scimitar parting flesh and muscle as it strikes the beast.

Round 6: Chapel to Lamashtu

OOC: Init Order: Jovik (21), Kael (18), Yeth (16), Jokad (16, Danth (10)

"You are back!" offers Jokad, with what can only be described as heavy irony, as he sees Jovik and Kael rejoin the fight. He is cut up and bleeding from various wounds, and has the fresh pink glowing scars of magical healing. It appears that the young man has taken the brunt of the fury from these hounds.

Jovik offers a single laugh as a response, and then feints a tumble past Jokad and under the hound. The hound, hovering above him, presents an open gut. Jovik, still folding out of his tumble, plunges Goblin Hook deep into the side of the hounds gut, carving a curving rune into the flesh. The hound falls limp, leaving Jovik to throw the corpse from atop him.

He stands up, wiping down specks of blood, and with a single raised eyebrow offers Jokad a look as if to say ... "what was all the fuss about?"

The hounds are dead.

OOC: Kael - you didn't use the spell, so keep it on the list.

Surveying the room, the stench of evil is strong. These hounds, while weak versions of their true type, were not things of this world. The odor of ash and burnt bone is in the air, almost certainly from the burnt offerings on the shrine.

The body of Lyrie lies upon the stone floor, with a small pool of blood gathered under her head.

At the back of the shrine a small spiral staircase winds downwards into the depths. It seems to twist down at an angle.

"I...they.." says Kael before a frustrated sigh takes his breath. "Those blasted hounds had something in their howl, it touched off....just something deep, almost primal fear."

After a moment, Kael with Mal will give the area a slow, cautious search, just to make sure there are no surprises here.

The hounds are dead.

"You sonofa....", Jokad starts when another searing jolt of pain cuts him off. He turns his grimace into a grin and shakes his head at Jovik.

He gingerly sits down on the steps and takes a look at his savaged leg for the first time; 25 lb dog head still clamped tightly to his thigh and blood soaking his breeches.

"Not good", he says mostly to himself as he sets aside his sword and shield. Closing his eyes and gritting his teeth he pries his fingers between the wound and the jaws. Cold sweat beads on his forehead as he begins to pry the jaws open. The pain is exquisite then... CRACK! Followed by a hollow thunk as the lifeless head drops to the flagstone; lower jaw distended oddly.

He breathes heavily for a moment then opens his eyes. He inspects the wound for the first time. It's deep and the is pretty torn up but the bleeding was already starting to slow. It would probably be OK, especially with some more healing.

 

[Fenris]

Jovik grins at Jokad, "It's all about timing" he says with a wink before checking if Lyrie is alive or dead and searching the room.

 

[Rhun]

Having no power left to heal Jokad, Danth turns his attention to checking if Lyrie is dead or alive.

 

[frostrune]

Jokad is periphirally aware of his companions moving about the dias and altar behind him as he pulls his new royal blue guardsmen's cloak from his shoulders. He begins cutting it into wide strips daubbing his many wounds with the (relatively) clean cloth before binding them tightly. He then pulled a potion vial from his pouch and savored the warm tingle as the healing draught took effect.

The euphoria was temporary however as he soon realized the magic had done very little when he tried to stand.

Wearily he takes up arms and once again faces his companions. "Does the bitch yet live?"


Heal 2 hp - ugh. Hps = 17/30

Danth looks up at Jokad from where he examines Lyrie. "Your wounds are not life-threatening, Jokad. I shall tend to them in a bit, and I promise you'll feel much better on the morrow."

 

[hewligan]

Jovik and Danth move over to the prostrate woman. The blood around her has grown slick and sticky. Danth bends down to examine her, pressing a finger to her neck and lowering his ear to her mouth.

Jovik kneels, making sure to avoid the blood. "Well, is she dead?" he asks, lacking perhaps a little in subtlety.

Danth hears nothing. Feels nothing. Her skin has turned pallid. Her head, where he hit her, has opened into quite a wicked wound. It appears that she may have bled to death.

"Dead!" is his response. He sits there for a few seconds, making sure. It is definite. The wound didn't kill her, but the blood loss did.

"You laid her out!" Offer Jovik, his voice low, a hint of admiration evident. Danth doesn't feel so happy.

He rises into a kneeling position beside Jovik.

"Can you search the corpse, see if there is any healing or similar for Jokad. I think he needs it."

 

[hewligan]

Placeholder. I will post the search results on Lyrie's corpse here. Also, please post any actions (such as healing, search, knowledge, whatever), and I will update in the morning.
