Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 2 - Illusions)

[GlassEye]

Silas curses under his breath and follows Kel at a run. Don't want that kobold to escape or we'll lose our element of surprise, he thinks.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The kobold skips ahead of Kel, causing him to miss a clumsy attack. It turns and casts a quick spell at the priest, who suddenly feels the strength go out of his body. Kel collapses to the ground under the weight of his own equipment, and lays motionless as you watch his limbs become old and shrivelled (-7 to Strength).

Dartis fires two arrows at the same time that Rix lets loose another bolt. An arrow and a bolt meet in the center of the kobold's torso, pinning him to the wall of the tunnel opening. He coughs twice, blood welling up to his lips. After one last gasp he utters his last breath as he stares at Rix. "Traitor."

At the kobold's last utterance, Alexander spits "Dead" at the body.

"Let's see..." Starting to go through the gnolls' and kobolds' possessions...

When the others look at him, who had so enticed haste through the complex, he answers

"Yes, we can take a few instants. These were leaders, as worn down as the enemy seems to be, they won't launch an attack without them anytime soon"

At the kobold's last utterance, Alexander spits "Dead" at the body.

"Let's see..." Starting to go through the gnolls' and kobolds' possessions...

When the others look at him, who had so enticed haste through the complex, he answers

"Yes, we can take a few instants. These were leaders, as worn down as the enemy seems to be, they won't launch an attack without them anytime soon"

"Indeed, among these tribes, symbols of power seem to be very persuasive in what leader arise and how well they may lead their peoples. Depriving our enemies of future rallying devices is well advised." supports Dartis as he watches the north corridor with a drawn arrow.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

You hear a moan from the unmoving Kel. Maybe it's a grunt of agreement. Maybe it's just pain. From your position near the corpses of your enemies, it's hard to tell.

 

[Fenris]

Dartis curses at his own selfishness and rushes back to the elfs side.

Dartis leans over the protrate elf, untrained eye searching for anything that he could help with.

"Kel, can you move? Can I do anything to help?"

If no response comes, Dartis will pick up Kel and bring him along to find a healer.

 

[GlassEye]

Silas stares in horror as the kobold's spell affects Kel by wasting the elf's limbs. Rix and Dartis' attacks pass by him with Silas barely noticing. When Dartis rushes back to Kel Silas shakes himself from his stupor and aids the knight to help Kel as much as he is able.

[sblock=OOC]Spellcraft check to determine what was cast upon Kel?[/sblock]

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Silas
[sblock]
Your skilled eye recognizes the affects of a ray of enfeeblement. He should come through to his normal state in a few minutes. All you can do for him right now is take the load of his pack off his fragile bones and give him some water when his muscles pop back to normal.
[/sblock]

Silas and Dartis check on Kel, the abjurer giving sounds of recognition as he checks Kel's symptoms.

 

[GlassEye]

"Thank the gods. I've heard of this spell before and you should recover in a few minutes." Though actually seeing it as it occurs is rather ghastly... Silas tries to make Kel comfortable and, removing the elf's pack, sets it nearby.

 

[Land Outcast]

"Damnit" Alexander moves to help the elf who so many times helped him step up again in battle, and does whatever Silas instructs him to... Loosening the armor's clasps is tempting, but he's reticent to do so in the current situation...

He finally decides to do so and loosens the armor.
In that state it matters little if he's got armor or he hasn't

Following, he keeps watch over Kel. He says to his ear "stand tough, they say you'll be back to normal" and returns to his position, bow drawn.
