Hewligan's Rise of the Runelords: The Skinsaw Murders

Kael repeats his prior effort, however this time he pivots and sends the bolts of force flying into each of the three at the top of the stairs.

OOC
Each of the three at the top of the stairs gets one missible, very good missiles. :D

Init Order: Cultists (23), Bodyguard (16)Justice Ironbriar (15), Jokad (13), Kael (10), Jovik (no roll), Danth (no post)

Jokad shouts his offer, but is welcomed with a laugh from one of the two men.

"We welcome death - yours or ours. It is what Norgorber would want. Let us spill blood!"

OOC: You recognise the name Norgorber as a seldom worshipped god of murder

The two men facing Jokad pounce forward. One attacks, one utters a command.

The command is "Flee" and carries magical power in its invocation.

OOC: Will DC 13 to resist please for Jokad. I will leave his actions out until after the save roll is posted.

The attacking man slashes at Jokad, but misses.

Upstairs, the first of the cultists makes a swing for Danth, the second and third both issue commands, one at Danth: "Drop" and one at Kael "Halt".

OOC: I need a DC 13 will save for both - clearly impacts on Kael's actions, so I will only post up until that point. Drop would make Danth drop his weapon. Halt would make Kael do nothing for the round.

The cultist who is attacking Danth slashes wide and misses his mark by quite a distance (roll).

At the back of the room, the door opens and the warrior steps out and stands in a defensive position, still some way from you.
Behind him, with the now open door, a tall elven man steps out.

His face is covered with a strange mask (unlike in the picture) that appears to be made out of a single long strip of plaint human skin stitched into a widening spiral by black thread. Gaps between the stitching allow the wearer to see and breath through the unsettling mask.

His rich, powerful voice carries across the room towards you. Something hideous. Something confusing. Something magical.

OOC: Confusion spell cast at Kael, Mal, Danth. Will save against DC 17 for all please. And yes, it will impact his own men on the stairs.

OOC: Positions at the moment are shown below (with Jovik throwing a corpse downstairs, and thus just out of range of the confusion spell). I will complete this round after various saves and posts are made.

OOC: Mal, Kael, and Danth all under the influence of Confusion for next 7 rounds! Jokad on the run this round, but back in the fight next round, albeit out of the action for the 3 turns required to get to the top of the stairs. Jovik, however, is fine.

OOC: The confusion actions for this first round are:

Kael 64: Flee away from the caster at top speed (down the stairs, past the cultists)

Danth 54: Also flees, as above

Mal 26: Stands and barks madly, with the odd howl thrown in for good measure - kind of spooky for an invisible dog!

Fenris: Given the way the action has turned out this round, I am guessing that you may elect not to bother throwing a corpse down the stairs. You can go last in the round and post a new action if desired (although you are in the far top left corner, hence why you did not get hit with confusion). If so, please also post your next round init and actions at the same time (making it clear which is which for me).

As Kael and Danth turn and flee, they take the most direct route away from the elf as possible - down the stairs and past the cultists. They push and shove, their minds a scramble with the desire to escape. Both men are attacked as they try and force their way through, with Danth taking a hit that slices across his shield, but leaves him uncut. Kael, still invisible, being missed by the ill aimed razor.

(rolls, with both misses)

While their minds are still boiling with confusion, the two men do realise that their lives are at stake and instead of fleeing now focus upon their immediate attackers.

OOC: When attacked under the influence of a confusion spell, the individuals channel their attacks at those foes. Effectively Danth and Kael can attack as normal next round, but only at the cultists before them (spells, etc. are fine).

OOC: Next round init and actions please.
