Tullius whirls around as he hears the stone shatter. "Now what, by the jagged teeth of Pluto, is that thing?" Tullius shrugs and moves into position next to the thing and swings his axe.

Marcus of the Gypsies.

Marcus thoughts are still trying to catch up with events when he senses as much as sees first the feet of the mummy land beside him and then its crooked claws reaching down for him. Then all hell breaks loose as flames sear the air sending waves of heat washing over him and moments later something else enter the crowded space around him, and Marcus catches sight of glints of light off sharpened steel in the corners of his vision.

Desperately he wills his body to move, to find a way out of the maelstrom of violence that has erupted in his little part of the room.

ooc: tumble out of trouble and into a clear space where he can draw a weapon. Sould that still be an option when his turn comes.
 

Round 1

Ehldannis is the first to move, dashing to the side and catching the mummy in a wave of fire. (9 pts dmg)

Brioc and Octar are stunned by the appearence of this apparition and are unable to act the first round. Brioc's wolf snarls, and remains at his master's side.

The mummy tries to whack Marcus, and succeeds. Hitting with inhuman force, the gypsy is flung across the room into a crumpled heap.

Tullius charges in. Despite the terrible fear his opponent radiates, the battle-hardened centurian is undaunted, and takes Marcus' place in the lineup.

Dhormium summons the power of Clangeddin Silverbeard, but the mummy seems too strong for Dhormium's reserves. (turn attempt failed)



My notes say Marcus was at 9 hps. Does this sound right? If so, he's now at -7.
 

Tullius watches as Marcus goes sailing past him, he doesn't even flinch. Well, that's one strong litlle fellow there

Dispassionately Tullius draws back his axe while feinting with his shortsword and finally he brings both to bear on his opponent, axe whistling through the air while his sword slices in from below. Tullius' body seems to move to a drumbeat only he can hear.

"Dhormium! Check out Marcus, I think he's quite hurt."
 

Marcus of the Gypsies.

Marcus lies motionless.

ooc: 9 HP? I haven't been keeping track of HPs, but I've no doubt your notes are good. That'll teach me to pay more attention in the future.

~Dhormium cringes when he sees Marcus being tossed away by the mummified lizard. He turns and quickly walks to Marcus and presses his hands on Marcus’ wounds~
”Dwarf god Silverbeard, heal this warrior in you name!”
Ooc: move + cast Cure Serious Wounds, dropping my 3rd level spell.
 

Ehldannis steps away from the fearsome melee erupting before him and settles into the comforting drone of a summoning. Black fog coalesces and the din of combat is broken by the familiar howl of one of the wizards fiendish wolves.

[ooc: I'm pretty sure I've still got a Monster Summoning II left, if not this entry might have to become - moves away and draws bow, looking for a good angle to fire into combat!!]
 


October 23rd 2 pm Round 2

I've lost track of your spells too. Perhaps you'll all have a nap before the next combat. Current HPs down: Brioc 16, tullius 5, Octar 27, Dhormium 2.

Ehldannis begins his familiar summoning incantations. Brioc charges forward and hacks with his scimitar, but his black scimitar fails to penetrate the strangely hard coating of the mummy. His wolf cowers behind the Druid.

The mummy focuses its attention on the charging Tullius, backhanding him with startling speed. (12 pts dmg).

Tullius and Octar set upon the creature in earnest, penetrating its bandages with their blades and sending up puffs of white dust. (6 & 7 pts dmg).

Dhormium rushes to the fallen Gypsy. Laying his hands on Marcus' crumpled form, the dwarf fills him with Divine healing. Marcus awakes, still injured, buty alert (now at 8 hps).
 

Round 3

The party feels their old flow coming back as the press the attack against the living dead. Ehdlannis' black wolf leaps out of a blast of acrid smoke, sinking its fangs into the mummy's right thigh(6 pts). Tullius connects firm blows with both weapons (12 pts dmg), and Octar's sword also finds its mark(8 pts). Brioc and the mummy swing wildly, missing.

Elhdannis, Marcus and Dhormium can still act in round 3. There is room for one more body to engage the mummy.
