[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 4663238, member: 34958"] Ben struck out once more, this time at Lola, but the thief ducked his punch. Scar grabbed a chair and tried to break it over Rovan's back, but once more the wily former noble spun nimbly aside. Craig also had horrible luck against Edvan, and the trio took turns swearing out loud. (OOC: Rolled a 6, 4, and 3. :( ) Rovan went to cast his spell, but suddenly he froze up for seemingly no reason and screamed while grasping his head. He moaned and collapsed into a heap. [b]"Ho! His magic's gone as I thought it'd be! My dream was a true one!"[/b] Ben seemed thrilled, but was shut up quickly by a jab to his neck as an upset Lola buried her blade into him. Blood billowed from the back of his neck as he fell forward and the the floor. Hilmdyn missed Craig, and nearly fell to the floor while Edvan missed a drive at Scar. The two survivors shouted in fear at Ben's death, however, and scrambled out of the bar. Rovan remained unconscious, as his spell seemed to have backfired somehow... Rovan [sblock] Rovan was dreaming. He seemed to be in a strange hut where a firepit lit the interior in an eery red color. An old dusk-skinned woman was stirring a pot over the firepit.

[/sblock] Hilmdyn [sblock] You have acted as a medic before in your old village and from Rovan's pale skin, you believe you've seen this once.

The poison led to the mage's death, as your village lacked the necessary herbs to cure the poison.
