Pathfinders of Pelligrew's Pinnace [IC 01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

As the War Hounder closest to Leaf and Lerissa prepares to bolt, some preternatural instinct warns the Inquisitor. Quick as a thought her scimitar flicks out and tears a great bleeding gash in the young punk's gut. He actually manages to take a few more steps before dropping to his knees. Her follow up stroke sends his head flying over the cliff and into the surf.

[sblock=OOC]First Crit: 10 Damage +1d4 bleed (w/ the bleed it was enough to kill him).
Second Crit: Beheading (not in the deck, but as he was already dead . . .)

The others are taking double moves, trying to get away - all but WH02 are out of sight, and he's headed that way quick.[/sblock]

OOC - Love it Mike, Thanks!

IC - With her appetite satiated, Lerissa holsters her scimitar and takes a knee. Her color instantly goes back to the gray color you knew previously and she pulls her wooden Ankh out from underneath her garb and kisses it, says a short prayer and touches it to the chest of the fallen man. "This evil has been banished in the name of Sarenrae" During her prayer, her skin turns ash white and almost radiates a brightness.

She will then make her way to Mustapha and lay hands on his woulds and cast cure light wounds.

cure light wounds (1d8+1=3)

OOC - That's what I get for rolling 2 natural 20s[/QUOTE]

Leaf stands shocked at what he saw the small "woman?" do. It reminded him of the violence his people where capable of. He stood watching as she preformed her ritual and then walked over to the brass man.

Seeing her try and cure the construct made him shake his head and snap bacvk into the real world. Moving quickly to Mustapha he asks, "Are you alright? Will my powers work on one of your kind?"

 

[grufflehead]

Despite the old man's protestations, after Mustapha had made sure he had dragged him fully onto the ledge, he reached down and said 'give me your hand' to the men below in turn, until all had been safely brought up.

Once they were all secure, the Brass Man turned and walked a few steps away before squatting on his haunches, his back turned to the group, as if again lost in thought. Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, he softly, but firmly, said 'give me a moment please', holding his hand out as if to ward off anything that tried to come close to him, even his friend Leaf.

OOC: He's not letting anyone touch him

 

[HolyMan]

Leaf stands still and watches the man of brass gather himself. It is odd to see one of these "men" in the flesh(so to speak).

There is no mistaking his courage, and even though he doesn't have one made of flesh and blood. Leaf knows that Mustapha has more heart than most men of the world.

Abraxis' gaze follows the fleeing war hounders for several seconds, and then he shrugs. His companions had all made it through combat alive, if not unharmed, and seemed to be alrigth for the time being. The Aasimar walks carefully along the edge of the cliff, dismissing the greased area, and then moving to address the men Mustapha pulled from a watery death. "This scene today does not make much sense. Why were these thugs forcing you over the cliff?"

OOC: In that case Lerissa will not cast cure light on Mustapha. She will approach him to do so but when asked to keep her distance, she will do as is asked of her, instead, searching the fallen men for items of interest.

OOC: Between sessions - gotta get my next kiddo. Update coming sometime today. (RP is going well - keep it up!)

On the man she eviscerated, Lerissa finds a pouch with 193 gold pieces.

One of the old men speaks up in answer to the Aasimar's question. "I am Yargos Gill. These hoodlums are War Hounders, followers of a local crime boss names Nessian. He discovered I'd found a codebook related to an invasion of Absalom planned some eight hundred years ago. I've been translating the codes from this book and replicated the codes to start the invasion on a lark. Much to my shame, as I translated more of the book I realized that the instigators of this invasion had sworn an oath binding even beyond the grave . . . and my replication of the codes has awakened them! They'll start the invasion soon, and now Nessian has the book! Yargos actually starts to weep as he continues his tale. "There's a signal in the book to halt the invasion, but I can't replicate it without the book to reference! Please . . . you've got to help me get it back! Nessian plans to use the book to blackmail the city and take a place in the power structure - he was going to kill me to keep me from warning them!"
