Heroes, Inc. Day 3+, Voyage to Sarkon

[frostrune]

"Blast! If the damned thing would just slow down I think we could finish this." Timrin cursed as he continued to pace the creature.

Alethia snarls, seeing her friend, an innocent, being harmed by the metallic man and she rushes to defend the wounded sorceress. Her entire body is suffused with a radiant light, that forms into a brilliant cloud around her. Around her head, beams of light swirl, brighter than her own glowing eyes. She moves to attack the metal-man.

ooc:
Welcome back Frostrune!
Oh... Just manifested Nimbus of light feat.

 

[DM_Matt]

The metal man continues his charge, this time waving his hand backwards to bend the ceiling into a wall in front of Timrin and Alethia. Timrin is forced to use his attack to slice through the top of the reletively thin wooden barrier, causing it to fall. Alethia's glow burns the metal man, and she manages to strike him in the backwith her mace as he runs (27dmg) His blood is bright blue, and glows. Oddly enough, it seems to dissipate shortly after it is bled out. Not evaporate, dissipate, like it is disintegrating or leaving the plane.

Dyria cannot run fast enough to get into the moving battle.

The creature gets to the door, transmuting one arm into a giant hammer and another into a shield. Kiran still stands her ground, summoning a blue ball with arching energy that harms the creature as it resonates with his magical auras. It is the same spell Aleena used on the evil Fey.

Ignoring the pain, he arrives and strikes her over the head with the fist. She slumps against the door barely standing. He continues forward, using the shield hand to bash Maggie into the door. The door goes down, with Maggie lying on top of it.

The metal man then turns around to strike Timrin twice (44dmg, save v stun = success) and miss him once.

The metal man then raises his hand, about take use his transmutation magic again (i.e. about to be a new round). Murdoch gets down the stairs (still in old round), and stops to shoot, blasting the metal man twice with his rays (75dmg) The creature bursts in the struck areas, bright blue blood streaming out and dissipating. His body quickly melts, and the metal disappears in a similar way.



(Yesthe matal man can do a lot in a round. Its not a mistake. There is a good reason for it.)

With a quick look of thanks to Murdoch, Timrin moves quickly past the remains of the metal creature and over to Maggie's inert form.

He drops his sword and kneels at her side, his hands glowing hotly with holy energy. He gently places them over the wounds to her head and body and begins to heal them through Helm's holy grace (Lay on hands for 65 hps).

As she wakes, "That was very brave of you Lt. Cmdr Kiran," Timrin smiles warmly.

Assuming the battle to be over, he will then pull out his wand of CLW and make liberal use of it on Maggie, himself and any others who need it.

"All in a day's work," she says, weakly, "And please. stop calling me that." The things she said the other night belie her apparent confidence, but she probably doesnt remember saying them. She mumbles sometihng and a shimmering disk appears in the air, a few feet off the ground. She smiles, somewhat embarassed. "A little help, maybe? I'm not so good wih the standing right now."

Meanwhile, a number of people, apparently natives, come down the stairs. The leader is wearing a numbmer of items that Fin recognizes to be Druidic talismans and charms. He says, in Druidic, which Fin has to translate for the others, "I Thank you for rescuing us. but now you and both these ships must go. Leave this region. The fire lizards have returned to Sarkon, and thus the Great Horned Beast will soon awake. These pirates, have disrupted the sacrifices at the Great Statue by destroying many villages. When the Beast awakens, he will not only destroy the fire lizards for their accursed weapons, but rather than return to his slumber, destroy everything in his path, on account of insufficient sacrifices."

 

[kirinke]

Alethia turns, her body still glowing with light. "What fire-lizards? What accursed weapons?" she asked. "What beast do you mean?"

"The Great Horned Beast?! You have not heard of him? He awakens to destroy civilizations that have strayed too far from the path of nature. Our people, and those of the surrounding islands, worship the great statue of the Beast, and sacrifice to it on the island of Quarastre.The fire lizards are very large reptillian humanoids that throw balls of fire from their hands. The nature of their accursed weapons is lost to time, but may have sometihng to do with fire as well. Regardless, they are a source of the Beast's rage, and he will awaken to destroy them."

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando steps over the edge of the Crows nest and drops lightly to the deck below. (Slow fall 70 feet, no damage).

OOC: Where did those people come from that came down the stairs to those below? Wouldn't Shando have seen them?

[kirinke]

Alethia shakes her head. "Forgive me, but I do not. I am but a simple servant of Selune and while I do not worship the same gods you do, I still hold great reverence for the land and the spirits of the land," she looks at the druid. "What is the nature of the sacrifices you perform?" she asked, politely.

Hawkeye

They escaped the cargo hold. Yeah, he would have seen them. Sorry. Lacking other info I just assumed Shando was joining the others, even though he couldnt get there before the metal man died.
