[QUOTE="InVinoVeritas, post: 3601795, member: 41485"] As Ru runs from the scene, bounding over a stunned reveler in the process, Alek helps Kitten to her feet. He responds, [COLOR=White]"You're welcome, Strahd Boy."[/COLOR] He strolls back toward the coach, singing in Gnomish as he travels. The occasional reveler joins him in what must be a popular tune among them. Torhan calls for help from the healer as he reaches back for another swing at... Edditomas? His head? Another body?... at the gnome, hoping to prevent it from causing further harm. The insane brutality and incomprehensibility seem to befuddle him, and Torhan barely can tell that the gnome bent backward to avoid the blow. Fr. Berman approaches the battle, the ringing steadily growing as he draws close. He empties his mind as he rushes over to Darian. For an instant, his field of vision fills with butterflies, but he separates reality from hallucination and lays hands on Darian. [COLOR=SlateGray](+12 hp)[/COLOR] He whispers to Darian, "Sing. Sing now." His eyes fall on the gnome's victim, a plump gnome woman with a round, cherubic mask. She breathes, barely. Calahan launches himself savagely at the gnome, hoping to get in one more strike, anywhere that matters. With a CRACK! Calahan stops, the gnome's foot pulling free of the drying tanglefoot, and impaling him in the chest [COLOR=DimGray](-9 hp)[/COLOR]. Calahan crumbles to the street. The gnome's arms flail at Torhan, but they only strike armor. Darian returns to consciousness, suddenly awakened by a sudden infusion of life--or was that burning? An ashen man, smoldering, commanding him to sing... No... that is Fr. Berman, and the dissociative noise surrounding them. He starts to sing, and rise, taking advantage of the moment the gnome is using to pull his other leg free of the goo... it won't last much longer. Ru arrives at the scene, his athletic form serving him well for speed. The gnome is almost free. Darian is awake and unsteady, but his song is the only thing keeping the dread madness at bay. Calahan has fallen. Fr. Berman advocates retreat. Tavish tries to sing along with Darian, his terror-filled frame fighting against spooked horses. A distance behind Ru, Alek, Kitten, and Marionette approach. Alek undoes the clasp on Marionette's cloak. [B][SIZE=1]Ru: 16/30 Torhan: 11/40 Calahan: -6/23 Fr. Berman: 26/30 Darian: 11/20[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
