As Eskard moves by the last pillar, the groping hands try to grab him. The warrior, even large as he is, easily avoids the hands. Eskard slams his sword into the mage, and blood spurts out, but not yet enough.

Bazrim moves forward and fires missles of force, but something blocks them. The dwarf would suspect this to be the work of a shield spell.

Dodging to avoid opening himself, the masked mage fires a bolt of lighting that catches both Eskard and Bazrim full on. The dwarf is unable to withstand the force and collapses. The mage then takes a step south and Eskard hears him open a door. "Your doom isss nigh!" the lisping mage hissses.

Eskard screams again in frustration and follows his foe.

[sblock=oc]Move into the room. Atk#6: +8 / 3d6+11 (w/bless and squeeeeeezing)[/sblock]
 

Eskard follows the masked mage and swings mightily. But his aim is off, and the mage has some magic protecting himself.

Looking behind himself, the mage begins to back away. Eskard can see that the mage heads for a rooms filled with crates. The barbarian would never be able to follow the mage into the tight quarters now that he is enlarged.

Knowing instinctively, even in his enraged state, that he must strike true, Eskard takes advantage of an opening. His blade cleaves through the mage's spells this time and the half-orc strikes a great blow. The wizard's life-blood begins to pour out.

Blood spewing beneath the mask, the mage lisps, "Now I ssssee, Overgod! It was our blood!" With a terrible gleam in his coal-black eyes, he begins to say something. However, before any words come out, life leaves his body as he falls to the ground.

Eskard takes a few extra swings at the corpse of his foe, shouting orcish obscenities.

Regaining control of his faculties, he returns to his companions in an attempt to help them.

[sblock=oc]He goes to Kushnak, looks for a healing potion and heals him. If there aren't any, he goes to Nethezar but heals Kushnak. Essentially he keeps pouring things down Kushnaks throat until he wakes up, or there isn't more stuff to pour. [/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC]I'm gonna give the benefit of the doubt, since most of the potions are CLWs.

It takes 2 potions for 12 hps total.[/sblock]
Regaining his faculties, Eskard pours a potion down Kushnak's throat. It seems to stop the bleeding, but doesn't revive the cleric. Pouring a second potion down does the trick.
 

As Kushnak awakes, he gives a quick nod of thanks to Eskard before heading to Nethezar to heal him as well.

[sblock=ooc]Took one CLW off my sheet. Other's gotta come from somewhere. Use my wand on Nethezar, then guy-face.[/sblock]
