Last Stand of the Dorinthians (Chapter 3 - The Imperials)
- Thread starter Deuce Traveler
- Start date
Danica winces as the gargoyle removes part of her shoulder, but she knows she was right to focus on Marduk and not the flying creature, whatever the damage. But she is not well, she knows. She stands, exposing herself to attack, but knowing she will at least not be a sitting duck. She reaches into her pouch and grabs the leather thong she should have used before they wereeven at the base of the hill.
She rubs it over her forehead, saying "I need a barrier." She feels the eldrich power coruscating through her body, as magical armor surrounds her.

"Agreed, Barok move to Danica and Silas, leave the last goat to Ventus. We need to be ready to attack with everything should this sniveling coward dare to show his face again." Says Dartis as he sheathes his sword and draws his bow while urging Swift over to the last archer to aid Ventus, if he needs it.

The Fate of Ventus
Dartis urges Swift on and flanks the satyr engaged with Ventus and Barok. The light warhorse rears up and kicks outward, missing the creature's head. The archer smiles since he's still alive, but then Dartis' blade comes downward with enough force to leave a thin trail of blood across its face.
Danica casts a spell of protection around herself, the mage armor comfortably forming tightly against her. At the same time the python begins squeezing the life force from the struggling satyr in its bonds.
Ventus attacks next, his blade piercing through the satyr's ribs like a hot knife through butter. The creature wails and falls dead. For a moment, the Imperial wonders why his blade was so effective while his companions' weapons were not.
Barok searches where Dartis stood for the sole standing opponent, but does not notice where Morduk has moved to next.
But that's when Silas casts his spell and receives a helpful, yet unexpected result...
Silas Has An Important Decision To Make (Silas only)

You know instantly that the magic of this place has twisted and enhanced your spell. The temple before you now glows with a strange green aura, the results of your detect magic spell. However, what really draws your attention is a large cloud of blue haze that hovers near where Swift is, but then moves quickly to reach Ventus' exposed back. From the size and the speed, you guess that this haze is the invisible Morduk. And he is standing behind a murdering Imperial soldier who has killed Dorinthians on the field of battle and perhaps in their own towns and villages. Ventus is bleeding badly, and the ogre-mage seems to be taking his time, probably winding up for a strike that will silence the warrior forever. You know you can track Morduk now, but this is an opportunity to have an Imperial quickly slain. And all you have to do is be silent.

Barok chuckles harshly, "Hell, that was too damn close. But you did well, all of you. Seems I've misjudged you, Imperial." he says to Venthus, "You had your chance to betray us, but fought by our side. That probably saved at least my life. Thanks."
"Now, let's track down that cowardly goat
er and kill him a second time."
"Now, let's track down that cowardly goat
er and kill him a second time."
Danica is breathing heavily. Bleeding from her shoulder, her blouse torn and muddied, her eyes wide in exhiliration and excitement and terror. Her crossbow is up, and with sudden jerky movements she is twisting at her waist, pointing at the air there, no there, now there.
Her pulse is pounding, and she feels sweat -- or is it blood? -- rolling down her temple.
Her magic has failed her again, her attention slipped, she is wounded. But perhaps she can kill this monster.

Ventus spins at Silas's warning, staring into empty space behind him. His eyes search for any sign of the invisible ogre. With nothing to see, he closes his eyes and trusts in the memory of his father and grandfather as he stabs blindly into space.
"Guide my sword."
[sblock=ooc]Assuming I have time after the warning, Ventus will attack the square directly behind him and hope.[/sblock]

The air crackles as Silas' magic missile flies past Ventus and slams into an invisible, and very surprised ogre-mage, his sword raised over his head in a two-handed grip that was about to be brought down on Ventus' head. The force magic cascades over his form, showing the ogre-mage for a few vital seconds. Danica is the next to react, firing her crossbow and driving a bolt deep into the creature's shoulder. Two arrows fly from Dartis' bow, the first one reaching its mark and burying itself in Morduk's leg. Ventus brings his short sword up, but misses as he also scrambles away in desperation. It's Barok who finishes it, with each of his blades successfully aiming for a different kidney.
Morduk groans and falls onto his back, his invisibility gone. Even as he lies there, you can see his wounds quickly beginning to heal once more.
