Heroes, Inc. : Rasheman

The group on the ground charges in, only to crash into a barrier. It seems the wizard just put up a wall of force. Some defenders shoot arrows into the crowd from a window, though, proving that the wall does not go all the way up.

"Not the same trick, Shando; a new one," Timrin says sourly.

"Can anyone magic us across or bring down this wall?"

"Hey, Kayla," Alethia says, settling down on a nearby chair, close enough to touch her in order to cast the necessary spells. "I'm not going to lie to you, this is going to be rather unpleasant to cut those quills out."

"We can give you something make you drowsy, to make the pain seem far away, but we can't knock you out completely. Any drug strong enough to do so will strain your body, which is already weakened considerably. In addition, while he is cutting out the quills I will be casting a spell called Ease Pain, which does exactly as it is called, when it gets too much for you." she paused and gave Kayla a bit of water.

"Also, I and Naverone will be doing our best to block the pain with our telepathic abilities. I'm not real familar with this, so Naverone will be doing the majority of the blocking. It'll be alright, just trust us, okay?" she said encouragingly and nodded as an aid placed a potion rack beside her, with a variety of coloured liquids within. She picked out a bluish colored one a proffered it to the Witch. "It tastes vile, I'm sorry."


Alethia looked at her fellow priest. "Ready my friend?" she asked, hands glowing with a familiar silvery light as Kayla's eyes glazed over, the drug taking effect.

As she called on the ease pain spell, pure-white, nearly incandescent flames began to flicker over her body and as Devan cut out each quill embedded in Kayla, the flames spread out, licking at each open wound the quills leave behind, visably healing it.

Kayla is somewhat delirious at the point, and when told of the plan she just says..."mmmkay...whatever you gotta do...I trust you..." then with help drinks the water and the blue potion.

The process is slow, blood loss is a major worry, and it is not easy to keep her from screaming occasionally and squirming a lot. The Ease Pain spells help a bit. Eventually she passes out, making things a little easier for a time.

Naverone interrupts, saying, "The battle is going better, but we keep taking damage and are almost entirely out of ammunition. Oberon's forces, the Telthor, and the Bear Clan reinforcements and their witches are pushing the Thayans back, but the Thayan keep hitting the ship when they can. Beor is down there, by the way. We must try to merge the banesword that harnesses the master of nature with the Mythal, or we will not be able to stay in the air. "

OOC: How tall do we think the wall is?

You guys have a warlock with drain magic.

Alethia looks at Devan and smiles sadly. "Think you can take it from here? Naverone and I have to try to merge the Master of Nature's banesword with the Mythal. If we can't, we won't be able to stay in the air." she said after he relays the message to them both. "Wish us luck," she said as she stood up. "If you need help, I will come immediately," she turns to head for the Mythal.

OCc: actually, I don't think greater dispell magic works on a wall of force (DM_Matt, please correct me if I'm wrong). @ next level, Murdoch gets another dark invocation, and he'll then have caster's lament, which is like break enchantment (nasty! ).

OOC: Pretty sure dispel magic won't work. I'm not even sure break enchantment would. I was thinking more of your 'flee the scene' invocation or Shando's shadow step/jump. Shando's cohort might have a trick or two up her sleeve as well.

OCC: I've been travelling & don't have my books with me. From memory. this invocation works only for the warlock (I'll be able to check tonight). There is little point for Murdock to dim door alone to the other side...

DM_Matt, could Murdoch "burn" through adjacent walls (with acid or hellfire) to create a passage?

You can't teleport people with you. You can burn through, but the wall of force seems to cover the entire first two floors the front way. You blast additional third floor windows or go outside and burn in from the side.

WoF is mighty. Only disintegrate powers through it.

"I'll do what I can. She's squirming less now. I'll have someone get you if I need you."
