Legends of Hawaiki 2: Where the Wild Things Are

[Tonguez]

With Puna Tani and Wai taking the rearguard the others are able to retreat and quickly make it back across into the haze of the Sprites circle.

The Shadow that attacked Tu-Ru has been forced back and down by the barrage of strikes and spells set against it, the mana of the companions is strong and the blessings of the morning yet hold.

But even though the shadow alone is not a threat, the creature now moving to collect it is a definate horror. As you watch it leaps forward and the third shadow is drawn towards it merging itself into the form

The shape grows before you, solidifying into the form of a gigantic dog it stands confused as the three shadows integrate into a single form but soon, fang toothed maw open wide, it turns its great head to look at you...

(oocsorry for the delay - been an interesting few days!)

"You know, I hate to state the painfully obvious... But I *really* don't like the look of that. Anybody have any ideas?"

 

[Argent Silvermage]

At least there is only one of them now. We need to trust in the protections of the rainbow light and have faith in Kahukura. Tatiki says and resumes the chant.

 

[Seonaid]

Lani sets the sprite down carefully, and stands. "Is there anything I can do?" she asks.

 

[Mirth]

"We must try to last until the morning. The sprite was very clear on that," Puna Tani says as he begins an incantation. "I will reach out to what spirits I can for help, but the cost may be great. In the meantime, see if you can revive the little one. If I fall, be prepared to make your stand." Shutting his eyes, the shaman finishes his summoning, Great beastlord, I spilled my blood to save yours. Now I ask that that blooddebt be repaid. Puna Tani exhales slowly and waits for the spirit to answer.

Shutting his eyes, the shaman finishes his summoning, Great beastlord, I spilled my blood to save yours. Now I ask that that blooddebt be repaid. Puna Tani exhales slowly and waits for the spirit to answer.

The wound on Puna Tani's cheek burns once again and Puna Tani tajkes it as a sign.

However its is not the spirit that answers first but the shadow beast before him. Turning its massive bulk to face you the creature lets out a savage bark that sends a shiver of fear through your body - and then it prepares to pounce...

(ooc every body Will save DC 13, those who succeed can act, failure means you panic. Everyone except Puna Tani is within the Sprites circle, Wai is the closest to its edge. Puna Tani is about to have the beast pounce on him and as yet no monster has appeared )

 

[wolff96]

The sound of the beast's cry rolls over Wai and he trembles. Reaching within, though, he finds the strength to stand firm.

"Puna Tani! Get in here!" Wai cries.

Then he begins to incant once more.

(OOC: 10 + 4 = 14, saved, barely. Wai casts yet another Ray of Frost at this new threat.)

 

[Seonaid]

Lani shrieks as the creature barks and then throws herself backwards, away from it. If she can get out of the circle (i.e., there's no protective restraint), she will do so in order to get as far away from the creature as possible.

[Will save: 11]

 

[Tonguez]

Lani finds no resistance as she attempts to flee (the Sprites magic is designed to keep things out, not lock things in) and is soon pushing her way head long through the foliage her eyes wide with fear ...

Wai's spell strikes the creature which looks up to where the attack originated but easily shrugs it off. Nonetheless its pounce is delayed giving Puna Tani a small reprieve...

ooc I have access!

 

[Mirth]

OOC: Will save 12+4=16

Puna Tani stares at the beast in defiance as it lets loose its roar, drawing strength from the burning scar on his cheek. Hearing Wai's warning, he shaman decides to err on the side of caution and retreat behind the barrier. As he does so, her sees Lani fleeing from the shadow. "Wait!" he calls and runs after her calling on the spirits to calm her fears... casting Remove Fear if he can.
