Something Wicked This Way Comes

Eadon's body was shredded by the forced exit of the shadow creature from within him. This same force is what knocked everyone in the room on their keisters. It didn't cause any rubble or structural damage to the Inn.

It's not known whether the shadow creature would attack the skeletons rather than the party, but for now the point is moot -- there are no skeletons in the room yet.

My assumption at this point is that the center of the room is pretty much cleared - all the tables have been turned over around the edges for cover, or used to block the doors and windows (or at least to create obstacles the skeletons have to circumnavigate when entering).

So basically we have an arena in the center of the main room about 6 meters in diameter, with the shadow toward the fireplace (the western part of the 'circle') and the party scattered around wherever they fell.

OOC:

Ya'll better get out your whup*$$ weapons -- this beastie looks to need a lot o' killin'!

As soon as Béar resolves his action for Phase 12, I'll calculate the Post Segment 12 Recovery Phase so everyone knows how many BODY, STUN, and END their characters have, and we'll start with Phase 3 of the next Turn (the first one they can actually act on). Feel free to post any questions/thoughts between now and then, and whatever verbalizations (within reason - there's only about 4 seconds of game time to talk) you wish.

get 'r' done

OOC:

OK. this time for real

IC:

Béar rolls 3d6, getting [2,5,2] = (9) to hit

Béar rolls 3d6+1, getting [5,6,5,1] = (17) to damage

Béar rolls 2d6+1, getting [2,3,1] = (6) to location. (hands)

The skeleton recovers from his overswing and spins back around. Its bony jaw drops (and his eye sockets would widen if they could). The foul thing drops its club and raises its hands in front of its face in futile defense as Thanatos smashes right through hands and head. The once re-animated skeleton drops to the ground like a marionette with its strings cut.

OOC:

I'll need Cerallos to make a KS: Domhani Religions check (roll 3d6) and Gavril to make a KS: Domhani Legends check (the same). Post your unmodified target numbers for me as well, if you don't mind -- that way I don't have to go look them up.

And that'll do it for Phase 12. Post-Segment 12 Recovery Phase has everyone looking like this:

Skáth END: 10(10) BODY: 5(5) STUN: 10(10)

Deasaigh END: 22(22) BODY: 13(13) STUN: 25(25)

Cerallos END: 7(25) BODY: 15(15) STUN: 30(30)

Béar END: 30(30) BODY: 12(15) STUN: 33(33)

Athelstan END: 15(24) BODY: 10(12) STUN: 23(23)

Gavril END: 26(32) BODY: 17(17) STUN: 33(33)

Action resumes with Phase 3 -- Skáth and Athelstan (and the Shadow between the two)

Cerallos

Cerallos rolls 3d6, getting [1,5,3] = (9)

Cerallos remains motionless on the floor watching this shadow creature, trying to remember anything his former master, Iobairt, may have taught him about such beings.
What is it with this place, this night of the undead? Is it us, this group? I must calm down, focus my energies, conserve my endurance, this group that I've came upon has worked quite well as a unit so far.

OOC: Mike, does this creature seem to be of flesh and blood or is like a freakin' spirit? Can we see through it, or can we see any skin that could be cut? There is a correct answer to this question by the way!

Gavril

OOC: Is there anyone we are aware of in the inn that is not currently in the main room? I ask as I am wondering if the smell might be made by a person doing bad magic of some sort.

Gavril shouts, "Hey Skáth, are you up for a little recon? I can't help thinking that the source of that smell might be the source of our troubles here. We'll see if we can't attend to the newest guest of the inn." Gavril moves cautiously toward the Shadow his sword shimmering in a heat haze and his dirk held defensively. His usual levity seems forgotten as he confronts the Shadow. Then suddenly his wry smile returns, he begins to sing softly, "Me and my shadow..."

For Cerallos Only:

[sblock]Cerallos remembers something about Shadow Demons from a lesson by his master. Some schools believe that the undead themselves should be considered demonic, but this newest creature resembles descriptions of a (relatively) minor Demon called a Shadow -- a true Demon, and not technically undead at all. As best he can remember, they can be hurt by weapons, but are quite difficult both to hit and to damage once they have been hit, and are capable of dealing out terrific amounts of damage themselves. This is gonna sting a little . . .[/sblock]

OOC:

Scott, roll a KS: Domhani Legends check for Gavril, please.

Everyone that you know of who was in the Inn is either present or accounted for, with the exception of Illé Sorden. He was supposed to be guarding the fireplace against entry through the chimney, but has disappeared (Skáth flew over to Eadon to question him about this, and that's when Eadon fell to the ground and this latest show started).

Skáth

OCC: Mike does the smell seem to be the strongest here, at the fireplace?


Skáth will say to Gavril, sarcstically, "What...you think that wee folk have heightened senses, actually those loud colors of yours do hurt my ears. Just kidding, I'm on it, it has been bugging me anyway."

Gavril

OOC: Gavril rolls 3d6, getting [4,6,2] = (12) Knowledge check

For Gavril Only:

[sblock]You think you read something about these things once, but you can't remember any details. If only you had a little time to research it! [/sblock]
