House Millithor in COSQ: part 3

[Endur]

After Quertus casts stoneskin in preparation for the oncoming demon, he looks out into the chasm and waits for the demon to appear. But he and the guards see nothing moving in the chasm.

Then the invisible Icho materializes in rat form on his right shoulder. The rat points and whispers into Quertus' ear.

"Something wicked this way comes."


Looking where the rat points, Quertus sees a Draegloth climbing down the chasm. The guards do not see the stealthy Draegloth until it passes through the forbiddance and enters the guard room.

Durdyn Morcane drops his weapon, startled and intimidated by the sudden appearance of the fearsome fiend.

Guldor Morcane is startled as well, but then relaxes. He speaks in the drow language.

"Zieggrek, we thought you were slain by the T'sarran scum."

 

[Endur]

Meanwhile, Kripp swims in circles in the river but does not see any more movement above him.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Zieggrek growls slightly as he looks at Guldor. "It will take more than T'sarran scum to slay Zieggrek." He glares at Quertus. "Who is this weakling who hides behind Morcane guards? Has he not the courage to face Zieggrek? Bah. Where are the T'sarran worms, Guldor?" Zieggrek flexes his clawed hands and looks down towards the main portion of the House, taking care to keep an eye on both the stranger and the two guards. One can never be too careful...

OOC: I am assuming I do not know Quertus...

 

[Endur]

Guldor Morcane responds humbly to Zieggrek while Durdyn stops trembling and retrieves his weapon.

"Mighty Zieggrek, The one lurking in the back is known as Quertus. He knows some arcane secrets, but is otherwise of little consequence.

"We have great news. Matron Mother Alisannara Morcane was not destroyed. Although she lost her body in battle with the thrice-cursed Irae T'sarran, the Matron's spirit lives on. She has possessed the body of Matron Ki'Willis Millithor and brought the members of House Millithor onto our side in the battle to destroy the T'sarrans.

"Matron Alisannara and the others are attacking Dorina T'sarran right now. Dorina is undoubtedly lurking in Matron Alisannara's old room."

 

[Endur]

As Dariel and Tierak pursue the lead Bebilith, it continues to race ahead down the corridor, its claws and fangs snapping at an opponent you can not see.

Then the Bebilith stops suddenly. And the other Bebilith, behind Tierak and Dariel, starts to snap its claws and fangs, as the Bebiliths turn around and start chasing the invisible intangible enemy back the way you came, towards the Matron. The invisible intangible caster stops right in front of Matron Ki'Willis. Both Bebiliths, Dariel, and Tierak right behind it.


Meanwhile, the phantom Marckarius enters the guard post where Zieggrek is talking to Durdyn, Guldor, and Quertus.

 

[Endur]

The Spectral Drow elf that was once Marckarius passes through the guardpost ignoring Quertus and Zieggrek.

The Spectre passes out of the noble level and floats down towards Kripp.

Kripp, looking up, sees a grey spirit coming towards him (within 60'), moaning in drow,
"Narcelllllllliiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa!"

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

As Dariel and Tierak pursue the lead Bebilith, it continues to race ahead down the corridor, its claws and fangs snapping at an opponent you can not see.

Then the Bebilith stops suddenly. And the other Bebilith, behind Tierak and Dariel, starts to snap its claws and fangs, as the Bebiliths turn around and start chasing the invisible intangible enemy back the way you came, towards the Matron. The invisible intangible caster stops right in front of Matron Ki'Willis. Both Bebiliths, Dariel, and Tierak right behind it.


Meanwhile, the phantom Marckarius enters the guard post where Zieggrek is talking to Durdyn, Guldor, and Quertus.

Tierak moves to flank the foe, not coming between it and Matron Millithor, and attacking with her morningstar.

 

[Endur]

As Tierak and the others engage the disembodied foe in the presence of the Matron, it becomes clear that the foe is making no attempt to solidify. It is simply existing in the presence of the Matron.

Nor do attacks seem to be having any effect on the disembodied opponent.

 

[Goddess FallenAngel]

Zieggrek nods at Guldor's words. "It is good that Matron Alisannara has survived, even if it need be in another body. Zieggrek will join the battle to destroy the T'sarrans for the Glory of Matron Alisannara and House Morcane." With that declaration, he turns toward the entrance to the House proper to see a grey spirit rush past, ignoring the four in the guardpost. Before he can react, it is gone over the side. With a disbainful glance at the one known as Quertus, he lopes for the entrance, growling slightly in eager anticipation of battle.

 

[Uriel]

The Spectral Drow elf that was once Marckarius passes through the guardpost ignoring Quertus and Zieggrek.

The Spectre passes out of the noble level and floats down towards Kripp.

Kripp, looking up, sees a grey spirit coming towards him (within 60'), moaning in drow,
"Narcelllllllliiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa!"

*Clucking* a laugh at the pitiful Spectre, Kripp <defensively> casts Death Ward as soon as he sees it,and prepares to send this silly Drow to the grave for good.

OoC:If still at range when I get a chance to act, Kripp will expend three charges from his Ring of the Ram, since Force effects still hit incorporeal targets, otherwise:Cast [Cure Serious Wounds first 3D8+9 DC 20.
