Death in Freeport

Seeing the mage making an escape, Arcata acts! She spreads her hands, spraying bright light in mad, scintillating colors across Kenzil, trying to stop him!

(I did say I was readying to interrupt, so if that Color Spray, DC 14, works would it stop the gas form?)

Seeing the mage making an escape, Arcata acts! She spreads her hands, spraying bright light in mad, scintillating colors across Kenzil, trying to stop him! The wizard blinks but successfully continued his spell and transformed.

Scarbelly roars and his axe crashes into the first cloud being next to him, slashing a gash through its smoky body from which dark air pours out. The being seems to be losing cohesion as its humanoidish form is slashed open, though it is still there.

In the lavatory Justin and Wilbur have their quick intro and Justin draws his blade and slashes the scholar's arm, drawing blood.

Wilbur begins to feel a little better and with effort feels he could do more.

"Oh for f&^@'s sake. Where the hell do you think you're going." says Dogrynn as he moves carefully towards the door to intercept the gaseous wizard. Keeping an eye on the swinging cloud creatures he ducks there blows and manages to position himself to block the exit with Anton.

The cloud/Kenzil says in a wheezing voice "The orc iss too dangerouss, flee Forbeck! and waits.

Anton [sblock] you feel the attractive suggestiveness of his words and a pull upon your mind but they do not fully grab hold and you can make your own decision on how to act. [/sblock]

Scarbelly ducks the blow from one cloud but catches another one on his broad gut with a "Whuff!"

The other two clouds race after Dogrynn and pummel him with buffets of surprisingly solid impacts. The sellsword sailor is almost knocked off his feet.

Logan feels he has no means of stopping gaseous form, no magical weapon to affect it so he chooses to wait until either he has a clear shot (so that bolt ends up in the wall when it passes through as he expects) or the mage rematerializes. With Arcata in his line of fire he waits. He simply aims his crossbow at the advancing mist and moves aside to let it pass.

ooc Wilbur can force himself to act more fully, taking a standard action will inflict a point of nonlethal damage. wilbur takes 1 point of damage from the blade

Dogrynn takes 6 points of damage from the buffeting.

Justin and Wilbur are both in the lavatory still.
 



The cloud mage answers Anton, its voice a sibilant hiss of escaping air "Itss Sscarbelly the Pirate gone mad! He'ss trying to sslay me. Flee while he dealss with my ssylphss. Quickly Forbeck, ware the orc'ss dog who drew my blood and esscape with me. Go out the door!"
 

Frustrated, Arcata, still in her sailor's disguise, says "Everyone please, stop this! Lets just settle down and...I'm sure there's just been a misunderstanding! There's nothing to gain by killing anyone!"
 


Scarbelly roars and swings his axe in a great arc at the two flailing cloud servants but only catches air.

The bard bursts out of the lavatory, a bloody blade in his hand and he surveys the chaotic combat scene.

Dogrynn swings wildly at the cloud forms in frustration but they evade his blow as well.

Scarbelly is double teamed by the two clouds on him and the clink of a chain shirt being bludgeoned is audible as they buffet him like mini hurricanes. He seems to shrug off the blows however, more enraged than injured by the attacks.

Dogrynn is not so lucky, his scale armor absorbs one great impact but another catches him about the face and strikes with force. Worse, the cloud mage mutters darkly and turns his smoky gaze on the canid reaver. "Fleee." the cloud exhales and Dogrynn feels fright claw into his mind at the power behind that dark gaze. The open door behind the sibeccai offers an escape route.

The cloud mage holds his position for the moment though Logan has his crossbow still trained on the cloud ready for his shot should the mage move past Arcata.

ooc Dogrynn took 4 points of damage and is frightened.
 

Dogrynn takes off running straight for the open door.

ooc: sorry for not rolling. I actually didn't think he could hit so didn't bother. Will roll next time. He'll just run, rather than using teleport.
 

Anton watches the man flee the Inn and briefly wonders if that is the wisest course of action since this is more intense than he anticipated. However, he will allow the cloud/mage to pass while contemplating possible actions against the clearly insane Orc.
