Feint Whispers: The Burning Plague

[Talindra]

Ardoss howls, and as the zombie turns, twirls the bastard sword in his hands, raising it above his head, and bringing it down in a vertical slash, hoping to cut the zombie in half. His eyes burn with intensity, all else forgotten beside the heat of battle.

Hit and Miss

Ardoss' vicious swing misses the zombie entirely, yet the creature can hardly rest easy as Bhartus lays into it with his mace, smashing through its flesh. Yet, it still stands.

The extreme heat of the room weighs heavily on both Jericho and Bhartus: Jericho take 1 con damage, Bhartus 4

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho grits his teeth and rushes the zombie and slashes at it, trying to flank with Bhartus or Ardoss, slashing his blade quickly...

 

[tjasamcarl]

Jericho's play

Jericho brings his bastard sword to bear on the remaining zombie, slashing it diagonally across the torso, severing it in two, and taking it out of the fight.

The heat seems even more extreme after the exertion of combat....

You are out of initiative, but the clock is still ticking on the turn attempt with the zombies...

Intense pain courses through the muscles of Bhartus and Jericho

 

[Tokiwong]

Jericho pants loudly...

"Blast this heat... hotter then the inside a Dwarvish Brothel... or is that Elvish? Bah, it is too damn HOT!!!!!"

Jericho makes his way back to the group... and away from the heat...

 

[tjasamcarl]

Heat..

The heat permeates the room...everyone, especially Bhartus and Jericho, feels as if they will perish if they remain in this furnace...

Whitney pushes up her glasses and brushes her sweaty hair out of the way. "I think we should be going."

Whitney pushes up her glasses and brushes her sweaty hair out of the way. "I think we should be going."

Jericho stalks towards the exit to follow the zombies...

"Ye read me mind, mage, the only question remaining is your place or mine?"

 

[Krug]

Bhartus is drained from the heat. He wonders if he should spare his precious spells for a cure on himself but decides to wait.

Is the heat coming from the room where the zombies fled to?

"We should press onward! We are close to whatever secret this place holds." Bhartus says. "Onward down the tunnel, but warily!"

 

[Talindra]

Ardoss turns as the zombie falls, his eyes at first unfocused, and he does not appear to recognize the others. Slowly, the bloodlust leaves him, and he nods at the wisdom of what the others are saying, and moves to take point as they enter the tunnel.
