Crossed Paths - Part I

[Manzanita]

Just FYI, it looks like I'll be out of town this w/e with questionable internet access, so I may not be able to post again until Monday.

"Is everyone accounted for?", Ehldannis calls out in panic. "I just heard their leader call for them to take anyone who is sleeping."

 

[Jarval]

"Aye, free one of us." Brioc calls, pulling hard against the vines. "Who do we have here? Both Khen and myself are free, but I've not heard from Wolf since the fight began."

He raises his voice, yelling in Gaelic into the foggy night. "Wolf, where are you lad? Gods, if any have hurt you, I swear their blood will feed the worms!" He falls silent, listening intently for any sound of his lupine friend.

Ecgthow can be heard moaning in the vines right outside of the cabin door.

Round 9

Khenemetsobek and Brioc struggle with the vines to no avail. The effects of Nathaniel's inspiring oration expires. Brioc can see Ecgthow, who seems to have been mauled by wild animals, a few feet behind him, remaining concious only by the viking rage that still pumps through his veins. Octar picks up Glaucon's still bleeding body and charges into the whipping grass to take his body close enough to Khen to get him healed. Octar succeeds in getting him in touch range of Khen, who is on the edge of the spell. Nathaniel stares into the darkness, chest heaving, sworld and torch raised. The sound of movement in the darkness is audible, but fading. Sounds of flame can be heard in the cabin, and smoke is pouring out the door. Ecgthow and Brioc, who are very close to the door, can feel the heat inside.

 

[Khenemetsobek]

Khen stops struggling to free himself and lays his hands on Glaucon and says in egyptian, "Scaled lord heal this one for he is needed to fulfill your quest."

 

[Inez Hull]

Ehldannis will lend what strength he has to help Brioc get untangled. "I believe that is everyone then. Perhaps the beasts were seeking to collect their own felled. I believe it was a close call for Glaucon though."

Khenemetsobek successfully heals Glaucon. His wounds heal. He remains consciousand his life is no longer threatened, but he is largely disabled. (0 hp) I'll assume Brioc heals Ecgthow, as well, bringing his hit points to 8, after his rage subsides.

 

[Manzanita]

Guilt Puppy and ThomasHobbes, please check in when you're back in 'town.' I'll send you emails about what happened in combat, although my emails to you, guiltpuppy have bounced back. (anyone else having trouble making long posts?)

 

[Manzanita]

After a couple minutes, the entanglement ends. Soon after, the mists begin to fade. Soon, the woods are as they were before the combat began. The tall trees sway in the slight breeze, the stars shine bright, and the crescent moon casts a subtle shadow over the scene. Around the cabin lie eight corpses of your opponents.
