IG's Legend of The Ripper [IC]

[Schmoe]

Xao quickly backs away through the door, keeping away from the spirit. As he does so, he holds up the ring so that the spirit can see it. In a clear voice he yells at the apparition, "Is this what you are looking for? You can have it, if you cease your attacks."

Dacen, Human Cleric 7/9 HP

Dacen grimaces as their collective efforts fail to affect the ghost. Seeing the wisdom of Xao's tact, he backs off towards the shaman, hoping he can reason with the spirit.

Her blade not seeming to have any effect on the apparition, Rexy goes on the defensive.

Xao's taunt does indeed get a reaction from the ghost of Mari Kell. She immediately sets her eyes on him and flies into a ghastly rage, charging through those at the side of her deathbed straight at the foreign wizard. With an unhinging shriek, she charges into him headlong with her raised dagger, and Xao drops the ring as he feels the blade sink deep into his chest.

As Xao falls to the ground unconscious, Mari Kell turns to face the others, waving her dagger and hovering ominously over her ring and Xao's dying body.

"M..Mari Kell..! I... we want to help. Please. We're just trying to put things right. We won't disturb anything else, I.. I want to return your remains to their rightful place. Please if you'll let us, help us, we can maybe help you?" Dacen desperately tries to reason with the apparition. He slowly reaches for a scroll in his pack, perhaps Xao's best hope for remaining alive.

Ouch! Maybe I should have tried a less antagonistic approach. Oh well, hopefully you guys can pull Xao's bacon from the fire. [/sblock]

The ghost doesn't respond to Dacen, but only floats menacingly over Xao and her ring.

 

[Rhun]

"Get away from him," shouts Dexy. Her fear temporarily forgotten, she approaches the ghostly form menancingly.

 

[industrygothica]

Rexy approaches the apparition with reckless abandon, and the ghost shifts a bit, still keeping her guard on the ring.

Xao continues to bleed out and remains unconscious.

Fen notices that the ghost doesn't attack Rexy, and moves in behind her. He cautiously grabs the fallen mage by the ankles and starts to slowly pull him away from the scene.

Xao -3/5: (dying)

 

[PhoenixAsh]

Dacen hesitates no longer - with Xao out from underneath the ghost, he scurries over and recites from the scroll, doing his best to stay out of reach of Mari Kell's spirit while he cures Xao's grevious wounds.
