Intrigue In Candara

[Creamsteak]

(Jemal, after we defeat these creatures -if you don't plan on using them again that is- could you post them in our Rogues Gallery? I don't have any idea what they are, and I'd love to find out after they lose thier air of mysterious origin with me.)

 

[National Acrobat]

Ariel, after checking on Tal, moves in to make another melee attack on the beastie.

 

[Jemal]

OOC: MOB!!!! MOB ATTACK!!!!

IC:
Auld tries to knock the beast to the ground, but his attack is knocked away by it's tail.
Abesh cracks his whip in the beasts face, but it seems not to faze it.
Ariel, Finnegan, and Gustaf swing at the beast, which manages to deflect or dodge all of their attacks.
Thomas comes charging in and spears the creature on his sword, harming it but not quite as effectively as the blow that felled the other.
In retaliation, they creature swings it's tail, connecting a weak (2hp) blow on Thomas. He feels a wave of diziness overcome him, and falls to the ground, groggy.
Tal fires a swarm of missiles into the creature, each thudding into it and causing obvious pain, until the 3rd and final one strikes it dead.
Father Antonio, seeing that the beast is well under control, and there is nowhere for him to aid them, turns back to the rider, who is attempting to clamber back to his feet.

Several guards are running out from the city, but when the second beast drops, they stow their weapons, though still rushing towards you.

 

[National Acrobat]

"Strike a blow for goodness!" Ariel cries as the second critter drops. Ariel turns to Tal and casts CLW on him (1d8+5) and then will ask if anyone else needs healing.

 

[Jemal]

As Ariel brushes her gifted hand across Tal's wound, it closes completely, leaving nothing but pale skin, a slight rip in the fabric, and a very small amount of lingering pain. As she surveys the scene, she sees father Antonio assisting the rider, and Thomas laying on the ground.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Tal takes Ariel's hand and kisses it. "Thank you. I did not want to distract anyone with how badly I was injured." He gets up and proceeds to cut the stingers off the bodies. "Could be useful spell components."

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

Abesh hastily shoves his trumpet into his backpack and rushes over to Thomas's side in a panic. His eyes are wide in fear- Have I lost him already?- and he frantially checks for a pulse.

"Boss? Boss? You arlight?" he says frantically, and then turns and yells over his shoulder. "Healer! I need a healer!"

 

[drs]

"Err... yeah, um what? Who? I'm alright..." Thomas says trying to get up. "Maybe not" then slumps back to the ground.

 

[Jemal]

Thomas can move, but just barely. It seems to be getting harder every second, and your senses are slowing down.

 

[Uriel]

Finnegan hurries to the side of Thomas and sqauts down near him.
