Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gray Shade" data-source="post: 2609631" data-attributes="member: 32340">Kah attempts to roll away from the dragon, but as she gets to her feet, a vine grabs her ankle and she stumbles (<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157703" target="_blank">failed Reflex save</a>)just as the dragon gets its good wing loose and swings at her.  With the vines holding her, she's an easy target and the wing slices through the air then <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157705" target="_blank">across her back</a>.Haarkon and Lars both sweep their weapons back and flail away at the poor creature in a frenzy of well-placed blows, easily battering it into unconsciousness as it huffs a final bit of froth and slumps into a heap.The body of the dragon collapses out from the middle of the tendrils of gray and you can all see a figure seemingly made of smoke about five feet tall with several whip-like "arms" floating where the dragon's shoulders were.  Before the semi-ethereal form can take action, however, The Padre holds his spear above his head and chants a curse at the form in the ancient language of the Norns.  This seems to distract the creature long enough for Mist to charge in on Thunder, her lance glowing with holy might.<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157708" target="_blank">The lance slides into the shadowy thing</a> spraying sparks like a grindstone in overdrive.  A horrific face full of hate appears just above the sparks, and all those watching are racked with horror and despair (see below for details).However, before anyone can act further, the evil spirit flees.  With a screech and a howl it flies back into the depths of the mine and the darkness.Behind the party, all the townspeople who were near the front of the crowd have also been affected by the horrific appearance of the ghost.  They are scared, but the rest of the crowd is keeping them from panicking.*     *     *Tailspinner: Kah takes 9 damage from the Wing Sweep.Fenris: You missed the crit by 1!  But the dragon was down to 12 hp anyway, so you and Deuce Traveler easily KO'd it.Lazlow: I went ahead and had The Padre try to turn.Everyone (except Lars, who already has made his save against it) is affected by the Ghost's Frightful Presence as follows (crap, sorry, I forgot the Bless and Inspire Courage, so you all have +2 more to this save, although, it turns out it didn't matter, anyway, the following effects are all accurate):Kah:  <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157713" target="_blank">Misses the save.</a><a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157725" target="_blank">She takes 1 point of Strength damage; 1 point of Dexterity damage; and 2 points of Constitution damage.</a>Haakon: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157721" target="_blank">Makes his save. No effect!</a>The Padre: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157720" target="_blank">Makes his save. No effect!</a>Dentmus: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157717" target="_blank">Makes his save. No effect!</a>Mist: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=157724" target="_blank">Makes her save. No effect!</a></blockquote>
