Heroes, Inc.: Kryptgarden

[kirinke]

Slowly a chaotic, greying out scene superscedes the glade and birdies and Alethia discerns a blurry, huge figure loom over her. Instictively, she lashes out and luckily for the bear-guy, she isn't armed and is rather confused too as well. And for some reason, the nimbus of light activates and its shimmering radiance envelopes her in a soft cloud of moonlight.


ooc:
Wouldn't it be better if we teleport Aleena's dead body with us? They may have her soul, but what if they come back? Having Shando and a piece of her is gonna be worse.

Also, I don't expect much damage from Alethia's attack if any, it's just sort of instictive, what I'd expect her to do in that sorta situation.

 

[Falkus]

Dyria groaned loudly as she regained conciousness. She began feeling at her face. Both eyes blackened and, oh yes, her nose probably broken.

OOC: We have a crime that has been commited here, murder. We have two of the perpatrators. Remember Shando is Lawful, so he is trying to follow the laws of Waterdeep. Don't worry, trust me.

Shando glances around, seeing the body of Aleena and shakes his head sadly. He takes a slow , deep cleansing breath, centering himself and sending a silent prayer for Ilmater to help protect Aleena's soul in whatever manner he can. He then stands taller, squaring his shoulders and walks over to the distraught paladin. Shando places a reassuring hand on Timrin's shoulder. His Holy radiance aura illuminates the area, hoping it will extend some calm to the chaotic situation. He turns to look at Murdoch and Barnak, speaking forcefully, but calmly "Murdock, Barnak, I know that Timrin is emotional, but please take our wounded to our base. Tell them to button up, in case of an attack. If you can, take Timrin with you. I will stay to watch over the body and report to the Watch and the Lords what happened this night. Please, haste is necessary." Shando looks over to the were-bear and bows at the waist. "I am Shando, humble servant of Ilamter. You assistance is most welcomed at this time. I wish that it could be under happier circumstances. We have much to discuss. Can you please have patience with us in this matter? For some of us, we see this as a failure and is the second time in a matter of weeks. It is a mighty blow against us and the city of Waterdeep. We will need time to recover" It is then that Shando realises he is still bleeding from the attack. He activates his healing ability, stopping the flow of blood and mostly healing the wound. (Wholeness of Body 28 points). Shando then looks for something to cover the body of Lady Aleena and waits for the Watch to arrive.

Beor responds "I will do what I can, but it seems from the noice that the Watch has far more pressing matters to attend to, and perhaps we do as well. I advise you not to stay here. There is no point to it, and no obligation, either legal or moral, to leave the bodies or the prisoners in this unsecured location.

Alethia flails out towards Beor, struggling uselessly. Beor keeps his grip and says warmly, "Ssshhhhh...calm down...you're hurt, but you're going to be fine. Just hang in there, I'm going to take you home."

 

[DM_Matt]

Dyria groaned loudly as she regained conciousness. She began feeling at her face. Both eyes blackened and, oh yes, her nose probably broken.

Beor transfers Alethia to one arm, and helps Dyria to her feet. When she fails to steady herself, he lifts her in his other arm, and sets off towards your headquarters, which is only a couple minutes away.

 

[DM_Matt]

Meanwhile, from a block or two away, in the opposite direction from your base, you see smoke and hear additional fighting.

 

[Hawkeye]

Shando nods sadly. "You are probably right" Lets all get to the compound. We should be safer there. Sir Timrim do you wish to carry Aleena's body? We need to secure the other prisoner before we try to walk to the base." Shando makes sure the the prisoner is stripped, hobbled and gagged. (the guy with the iron rod)

[Steve Gorak]

Shando nods sadly. "You are probably right" Lets all get to the compound. We should be safer there. Sir Timrim do you wish to carry Aleena's body?"

OCC: Sorry for the delay; I didn't have an internet connection this week-end

Barnak nods, gets right next to Aleena and signals to Maggie and Timrin to get closer. "I can teleport four with me."

Murdoch adds: "Let Tim accompany Maggie and Aleena; the rest of us can investigate what is going on". He then flies up 20 feet to get a better view of the surrounding houses.

 

[DM_Matt]

Murdoch sees a nuumber of carriages, some wrecked and burning, gathered in a very large open square where a number of roads meet. They seem to have come from different directions, fleeing from their attackers who maneuvered such that they were coralled into the same location, altohugh many paths form the party would travel through it anyway, since it is often the nearest way to get to other major streets. Murdoch spots at least three individuals in plate mail, taking cover in an ally, on a balcony, and in a window, bearing stylized flames and the holy synmbol of Kossuth, god of firey destruction. Murdoch spots two others dead. They are lobbing fire magic at the now-full square, where people are taking cover behind carriages and trying to defend themselves with magical shielding. It seems most of these people came from the party. Many have guards who are returning fire with magic and crossbows. Very fast creatures are engaging them in melee. By their armor, you can tell that they are the same five guards brought by the Cormyrian ambassador, but they look differnt...they have the heads of great cats, tails, and furry hands whose wrists can move a full 360 degrees around, resulting in a strange but effective style of swordsmanship. There are many dead and wounded lying around the square.

Just as Murdoch arrives, he sees two assorted guards fighting one of the cats. On the ground next to them, you see the Rashemi agent Kayla, who had been guarding Aiden and his family, who you dont see anywhere here, badly wounded, rise and drive a sword into the cats' stomach. Just then, the tall building next to the square explodes, sending shrapnel into the square. The two standing guards are blasted a good distance, though the cat and Kayla manage to largely dive out of the way, but neither gets up. The bottom and front of the building, meanwhile, is destroyed, and the building teeters. Soon it may fall into the square.

ooc:
Alethia's followers standing orders are to obey Aleena if she is in no shape to issue orders. If Aleena is in no shape (dead or otherwise) then they are to take orders from Timrin then to Fin, Shando on down to Dyria and then to Maggie. Don't discount her followers, they have abilities that are well suited to fighting these bad guys and carrying messages as well. And I don't know what sneaky tricks the demon is able to pull, but he will be willing to unleash them all, and Alethia will be more than happy to be bedridden for a week because of it, especially if it means saving lives.
