House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

[Uriel]

Swimming down to the bottom of the River, Kripp waits for the Changing of the Gifts, spearing passing fish on his talons and popping them into his mouth.

 

[Serpenteye]

"Matron, sending the bebiliths against Kiernan and Leonon without additional support may not be wise.

ooc: She didn't send them against Kiernan and Leonon, but the (presumed) vampire who was grappled by the Bebilith and went gaseous to escape.

 

[Endur]

ooc: Sending the Bebiliths after the fleeing spellcaster vampire means sending Tierak after the fleeing spellcaster. The two Bebiliths try their best to stay very close to Tierak, especially in an area like the noble level where the Forbiddance restricts their abilities.

ooc: She didn't send them against Kiernan and Leonon, but the (presumed) vampire who was grappled by the Bebilith and went gaseous to escape.

 

[Thels]

Curse the gods, where is this leading to. Can't he just stay and die like a honest person?

Dariel will follow a short distance behind the Bebilith, keeping his guard up.

 

[Endur]

Dariel, Tierak, and the two Bebiliths pursue the fleeing gaseous form vampire in through empty guardpost after empty guardpost on the noble level.

Belarbreena, the surviving Aranea, transforms into her spider form and curls into a ball, obviously burned and heavily injured by the lightning bolts. Yasraena had also transformed back into her spider form, but she was slain by horrible burns, wounds that were obviously beyond healing. Likewise, the wizard Chazmyr Coborel, was also slain by lightning.

Marckarius volunteers to go back to summon Quertus, Durdyn, and Guldur.

The Matron heals Marckarius with a cause moderate wounds before he leaves to summon the others. Carcelon heals Belarbreena with her wand.


In the Chasm, Kripp thinks there might be movement above, but it is too far away in the darkness (over 100') for him to be able to see what is happening or exactly where it is happening.


At the guardpost, the bored Quertus is pondering his spellbook when his invisible familar suddenly whispers to him in a shrill excited voice,

"Master! A demon is coming this way! From the Chasm! Its not a Bebilith!"

 

[Pyrex]

ooc: She didn't send them against Kiernan and Leonon, but the (presumed) vampire who was grappled by the Bebilith and went gaseous to escape.

OOC: Ah, ok. I (apparently incorrectly) assumed that the invisible spellcaster wasn't necessarily a vampire and had Dimension Door'ed his way out of the grapple.

 

[Endur]

Quertus has two rounds to prepare and then he sees the Demon climbing down the great web in the Chasm of Szith Morcane and heading right towards the entrance to the noble level, as if the Demon knows exactly where the entrance is.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Zieggrek climbs down the great web and heads toward the entrance, trying to watch for anyone who might be posted for an ambush. He attempts to find a way down and into the House that will allow him to remain relatively hidden from view of a possible enemy until he can get to a good battleground.


OOC: Trying for spot, listen, and hide checks.

 

[Uriel]

In the Chasm, Kripp thinks there might be movement above, but it is too far away in the darkness (over 100') for him to be able to see what is happening or exactly where it is happening.

Kripp will wait to see if whatever it is gets closer before acting <within 60', of course>.

 

[Xael]

Quertus immediately puts his book in his bag, and digs up diamond dust. He tosses the dust over himself and casts Stoneskin. He then turns to the two guards and says "There's something coming. Get ready.", while he backs off from the entrance itself and lets the guards take the front line.

He then waits for the demon to show itself, and prepares to cast Magic Missile at it, if it shows hostile intentions (ready action?).

OOC: OMG, my school ended today. I'm free.
