Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard (Vol 2)

[Jemal]

William has been moving forwards as he spoke to the serpent, and now stands a few feet away from the bound woman, looking from her to the serpent.
Then, with a mighty swing, his sword arcs in towards Corath!!!
...But strikes the chains instead, as he attempts to free her.

[sblock=ooc]Attack a lock if there is one, else just attempting to break the chains that bind her.
Attack Vs Chains (1d20+11=31, 1d6+10=11)
Not sure if holy/cold iron matters or how substantial things are in this place..

The chains shatter with a resounding crack, like thunder. The young woman, Corath, is free and immediately changes form to that of her outer shell, that of the nimblewright.

OOC: In this soul-realm, Corath now has full Nimblewright stats.

OOC: Next action - Azilyk

The winged-serpent woman shrieks and dives at William, spewing acid at the paladin.

OOC: William needs to make a reflex save, DC 17. His acid resistance will negate 10 points of damage from the attack. Invisible Castle isn't working for me at the moment, so I'll figure the damage manually after you make the save.

OOC: Next action - Corath

 

[Jemal]

William hisses in pain as the acid hits him straight-on.
Reflex DC 17 (1d20+2=4)

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

OOC: After acid resistance, William takes 5 damage.

 

[Yttermayn]

When Aohdan recovers from his vision, he notices that Will and Corath have gone limp. Ever practical, he takes the opportunity to ask Norali again for some healing, pointing at the drizzling rapier wound.

 

[Helfdan]

Valen stands, and looks at William's fallen form with some sadness. As his eyes scan the horizon for approaching bee-people, he adresss Aleera. "Fights her? How do you mean? Is he not dead?"

 

[shadowmask]

Corath smiles at the circling snake-woman. "I told you we wouldn't let you succeed." With that, she concentrates for a moment and deploys both rapier-hands for the first time. Her smile turns ugly. "Quickly, William. I'm sure the others worry."

[sblock=OOC for Jemal]Corath has cast Haste on herself and William. William can make a Fortitude save if he wants. A success will negate the spell.[/sblock]

 

[crazy_monkey1956]

Corath and William...

Round 2

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pACxr0Yj47Y&feature=related]Corath Enters the Fray[/ame]

OOC: Next action - William

 

[Jemal]

William grabs his Avenger in both hands and charges forth to meet the serpent head on, swinging the mighty blade for all he's worth.

[sblock=ooc]
NOTE: I hate youtube's new policy of "delete everything!!!"
Question: Was his Smite Evil expended out there, or does he still have it 'in here'?

William's blade misses, leaving a trail of silvery light in its wake.

OOC: William is at full strength in the "Soul Realm."

Azilyk flies up, trying to gain some altitude on William. She then spreads her arms wide, closing her eyes. A black swirling vortex appears above her head. A silvery grey archway obscured by shadows appears on the ground below William. An ornate clockwork door appears on the ground near Corath.

"Two bodies, three souls...the Dagger claims the one that misses out. Won't your friends be surprised when their beloved paladin awakens only to betray them." The serpent makes ready to dive toward the silvery-grey portal.

Corath and William can feel the black vortex pulling at them, yearning to feast on their very souls.

OOC: Next action - Corath.
