Endur's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Craven looks at Chat with absolute disbelief that's quickly subsumed into righteous wrath.*

"TRAITOR!" Craven roars and moves to bring his warhammer down upon Chat.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Belaver snatches up his spear, moving with his serpent to encircle the traitor and striking at his unprotected back. Neshi, too, darts for Chat's heel.

 

[Thanee]

Lenya

Lenya doesn't know what to say, her mind is filled with images of dropping Chat's corpse down the chute and a bunch of ghouls tearing it apart and feeding on it. Angry, another bolt of fiendish energy is unleashed upon the assassin.


OOC: I suppose the chute is already blocked, so Lenya will stand in the archway now after the first round, blocking that way, too.

Round 1

Lylamwyn's usually calm face turn into face of surprise and then barely contained rage. "Goddamnit!", he shouts. He will try to cast Color Spray at Chat, if he can do so without affecting his companions (probably not). Otherwise, he'll just draw his crossbow and start shooting at the melee.

 

[Dalamar]

"Wha..."
Kerwyn is caught completely unawares as Chat impales Spugnoir. After a moment of trying to decide if he is better served by trying to futilely to hit him while his friends are fighting him, or trying a bit less futilely hit him with a dagger across the back, he draws his dagger and trys to get so that he can catch Chat between himself and somebody else.

 

[Seonaid]

Toriah blinks before drawing his rapier and closing on Chat grimly, silently. After everything that's happened, he's not capable of shock. I almos' expected somethin' like this, he thinks.

 

[Endur]

Round 2 Initiative
25: Chat – Stumbles away from the melee (tumble check 1+11=12 failure) while drawing a wand. AOOs: Belaver stabs Chat (18+,dmg 2), Neshi misses Chat (6), Black Cat claws Chat (15+, dmg 1), Kerwyn misses Chat (13), Toriah hits Chat (18, dmg 2), Raner hits Chat (19+, dmg 9), Craven misses Chat (6).

Chat falls dead of many wounds.

 

[Xael]

Resisting the urge to shoot a bolt at Chat's already dead body, Lylamwyn breaths heavily and tries to calm himself. "Well, somebody did die.", he says blankly and angrily. He proceeds to cast Detect Magic to check Chat's body for magic items. He'll also check Spugnoir, since the wizard probably has something they can use in addition to his wand.

*Craven snarls at Chat's body.*

"If no one has any objections, let me make sure he cannot walk again, then dispose of him," Craven suggests, looking pointedly at the chute. Classically, preventing a body from walking after death demanded they be buried in holy ground, staked to the grave, beheaded, and placed in a sealed coffin. But under the circumstances, beheading and a stake through the heart was all that could be done.

*After that, Craven will wrap Spugnoir up in his cloak and lay him carefully next to Redithidoor. He prays over both, feeling guilt that he could not prevent their deaths.*
