Legends of Hawaiki 2: Where the Wild Things Are

[Mirth]

I emailed a PhP of the class abilities to you - we may need to reconstruct anything missing from memory!!

OOC: Thanks. I got the PHP file to work finally, but I can't get any of the charts to come up, which means I don't know what he will have access to when we level up. Other than that, I've got the rest. Also, I looked back through the whole thread and apparently all Puna Tani has cast so far is Speak with Animals and some healing on Tatiki and himself (not sure how many spells were used there). I'll assume for the moment that he has at least one more 2nd level spell left to cast...

As the shadow advances, Puna Tani calls upon the blood of the nanakia that has mixed with his own to infuse his warclub with the beast's ferocity (Magic Weapon) before attacking the dark presence directly.

Kahukura watched with concern as the Darkness beyond the barrier rose up to strike against the wall. As the wall blazed first yellow and then green a portion of the Darkness seeped in before being closed out once more, the Mana of the Sprites spell was holding despite the relentless challenge.

Within the barrier the mortals stood before the attack of the shadows. One thrown back by the Shamans power now bathed in the darkness that seeped in from beyond, healing it invigorating it

The second still rushed forward to where the Shaman and the scorcerer each stood whilst the third had disappeared into the ground itself and who knew where it might emerge

It was a full night til dawn, would the barrier hold?

 

[Mirth]

As the menacing shadow advances, Puna Tani recalls the words of the sprite that arrived with his companions, "We must withdraw into the circle, the Darkness will withdraw at dawn..."

Having second thoughts about his ability to overcome this new foe, the shaman moves towards the others and the protection of the circle.

Wai backs away from the oncoming shadow, putting as much distance between himself and Puna Tani as he can.

"Draw them away from the sprite, Puna Tani! They seem most interested in us, maybe we can distract them."

Wai then changes his speech to a rumbling cant and summons another pair of magical darts that strike at the closest creature.

"I can't keep that up much longer!"

(OOC: Magic Missile on the closest shadow after a 30' move away from Puna Tani and the sprite. IIRC, I have one more first level spell left today.)

[Sorry, hectic week at work last week. I didn't get online at all until today.]

Lani has *no* idea what to do, especially since magic seems to be the only thing that hurts the creatures, or drives them away. She kneels by the sprite and tries to assess its injuries. For comfort's sake, she keeps a firm hold of her dagger.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Tatiki having used most of his magics will follow the group back to where they came from. Can someone please explain this to me?

 

[Tonguez]

Puna Tani is soon back near where Lani leans down to attend to the potbellied sprite. Lani attends to the sprite, but can not find any sign of injury, nonetheless the sprite is unresponsive seemingly paralysed.

Tu-Ru standing off to the side feels a surge in the ground beneath his feet and the a stinging cold as the thrid shadow rises up through his legs, draining them before righting itself so the O'Punga comes face to face with the emptiness of despair!

Tatiki moves to join the others whilst Wai lets forth a pair of tiny lightning bolts towards the second shadow that is almost upon him, luckily they are enough to drive the creature back towards the barrier and the first shadow.

Beneath the indigo glow of the sprites barrier the two shadows merge becoming one whilst the Darkness beyond slithers and pushes trying to find and opening for it to enter

Wai sees the figures of two of the shadows merging together and seeming to gather strength from the darkness beyond the shining wall.

With a frown, Wai says "I don't think that's a good thing for us. We need to fall back into the circle. Maybe you guys can carry the sprite beyond the circle?"

Wai matches action to his words, falling back towards the circle even as he speaks. Stopping just shy of the barrier, he exhausts himself with yet another pair of magical darts.

They arc over and around Tu-Ru's large form to strike the shadow that attacked him.

Maybe *that* will convince the shadow to flee, Wai thinks to himself.

(OOC: Wai moves straight down to the edge of the circle -- the line marked as "5ft" -- and then casts his last Magic Missile on S3.)

 

[Seonaid]

Lani had the same thought [thanks for the map; it clarified things for me] and attempts to lift the sprite. She then moves back toward the barrier.

 

[Mirth]

Puna Tani looks at Lani and the sprite, ready to help them move back to the circle when he hears the unearthly sounds of the third shadow's attack on Tu-Ru. Quickly, the shaman runs to defend the O'Punga before the foul creature takes him. OOC: Power Attack
