[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3953198, member: 31780"] Barok looks at the mad priest and considers his options for a moment. He could try to warn his allies that they had been noticed, but what good would that do? He did not really know much about the true nature of the threat they faced and his opponents were blocking his most direct path to them. The cleric's minoions would probably reach Dartis and the others before he could even warn them of the threat, and in that case he would be of very little use. If the townspeople were undead there would be no point for him to try to fight them directly, and his invilisiblity would fade before he got a chance to attack the cleric while he was distracted by attacking his associates. On the other hand Dartis, Caramip and Silas could easily outrun the shambling minions if the odds were against them. So, what should he do? As far as he could see it there were only three realistic objectives here. Get information about what had happened here (and figure out a way to use it), loot everything that isn't nailed down, and (if it would be convenient and desirable) kill the cleric of Festios. The best place for at least two of those objectives was the cathedral, but one important test could be carried out in the streets. Moving from shadow to shadow, using but not relying on his invisibility, Barok stalks, looking for easy prey. If he finds a shambling slave alone in a dark and isolated place he draws his weapons, moves silently closer and stabs the poor minion in the back. [/QUOTE]
