Redclaw's Eyes of the Lich Queen

[pathfinderq1]

Chevri tried to focus on the forms moving around by the door of the hut- she had to believe that they weren't a hallucination brought on by the toxins the little lizards had kept pumping into her. It didn't help that she couldn't even move her head to shake the curtain of her own hair out of her eyes.

She tried, experimentally, to make some sign, even the smallest gesture. No luck. Just drawing a deep breath was difficult, and her tongue felt thick and dry in her mouth. With every bit of effort, she could barely exhale a soft purring rasp of air, only audible now that the sounds of combat had died away. "Chrrr..." That was it- she had to hope it would be enough to bis her rescuers welcome.

OOC: Hello all. Won't be able to post again until tomorrow afternoon, but Chevri is glad to see you.

Talas 11/42 hp 4 str damage

Talas sighs as Bregan's arrow ends the life of the poisondusk. Talas slowly drinks the potion he was holding, while he looks down at the prone form of the shifter. He speaks to Drekhad, "Their poison has taken their toll on me. Can you help me get her out of here?"
Talas then looks outside, to where the sun illuminates the clearing. If it wasn't for all the blood, most of it being his, it would be beautiful. He calls out, "We've another prisoner in here, she's helpless from the poison."

[sblock=ooc]Heal and press on, or retreat once more to our camping spot? 6 damage healed [/sblock]

Hedowin

The mage moves towards the opening of the hut and looks over the warriors shoulder.

"I've nothing on me that could counteract any poison of this kind."

He shakes his head.

"I'm sure you didn't exactly plan to be running a rescue mission -- but we cannot leave her behind."

Bregan enters the hut and is shocked to see another shifter. He reached down, picks her up, and carries her out of the hut. He moves her to the fire, sitting her down gently. "What is your name?" he whispered.

 

[pathfinderq1]

The young shifter did not speak, though she repeated the same soft exhale of breath. Her skin was cool and clammy, and mottled with might be bruising or some reaction to the lizards' poison. When lifted, she was almost completely limp and unresponsive- only her shallow breathing and the soft grey-green glitter of her eyes hinted that she was alive and conscious, but imprisoned within her toxin-ravaged body.

OOC: Effectively paralyzed and helpless, I don't think she has enough muscle control for anything voluntary, including comprehensible speech.

 

[Redclaw]

As Bregan moves the shifter aside, he discovers a backpack and pile of other gear left agonizingly close to the helpless woman.

Searching the rest of the huts and the bodies reveals a collection of weapons and a few potion vials. The body in the northwest hut has a magical amulet around his neck, as well.
Once everything is collected, the party has gathered:
4 small masterwork longswords
3 small masterwork longbows
1 small masterwork composite longbow (+2)
80 arrows
4 small masterwork bucklers
1 magical amulet
4 potion vials

Additionally, everyone involved in the battle gets 300 xp.

Talas 11/42 hp 4 str damage

Talas emerges from the cramped confines of the hut. He pulls his helmet from his head and holds it under his arm. He runs his gloved hand through his sweaty and bloody hair. He is beginning to look and carry himself more and more like Cholas. Some of the divinely inspired swagger his twin had, is beginning to show in the more martial twins stride. He steps to Bregan's side and places his hand on the shifter's shoulder. "She's paralyzed, from the poison, like you were. We need to get her on her feet and fast. We don't know if more enemies will be showing up."

Talas turns and winces, with the adrenaline finally wearing off, the pain was finally surfacing from the hard fight in the hut with the poisondusk. "Alexa, could you do something for her?" indicating the shifter female. "I am heavily wounded as well, could you use Chola's wand to seal my wounds?" Although Talas had some of the swagger of his brother, he had not yet abandoned his memory.

Hedowin

Hedowin looks around at his surroundings, then looks to his raven. "Go see where we are."

Ebony takes flight from the mages shoulder and wings upward, until he is only a black dot in the sky, flying a lazy circle.

As he watches the bird gain altitude, he walks over to the assembled loot. After noticing the amulet that appeared to be magical, he picks it up, studies it quickly, then pulls a short wand out of his belt pouch. "Agnitio" The blue-gray gem shines brightly briefly then fades. "Ah hah, interesting..." [Use Eternal Wand of Identify on amulet]

Minutes later, the black dot grows larger and glides in and lands upon Hedowin's shoulder.

"What did you see?"

Once Ebony has given a report of what he has seen, Hedowin returns to the others,"You know, I just realized that I have no idea where we are -- is this some sort of lizardfolk complex?"

,"You know, I just realized that I have no idea where we are -- is this some sort of lizardfolk complex?"

"We met a friendly tribe of lizardfolk on our way here." Talas then glances at the paralyzed shifter and speaks more quietly, they didn't know the reasons why this one was here. "They were wounded and spoke that they temple we are journeying to was guarded by others, blackscales and such. They were not friends of these creatures. They told us of a safe place to stay and wished us luck."
Talas watches their almost most recent companion with interest as he pulls out the wand and examines the magical amulet. "What is it's function?"

 

[Zurai]

"Alexa, could you do something for her?" indicating the shifter female. "I am heavily wounded as well, could you use Chola's wand to seal my wounds?"

"Of course!" she exclaims, and busies herself with healing wounded rescuers and rescuees.
[sblock=OOC]That's 4 charges to bring Talas to 33/42, or 5 to bring him to 38/42. Is anyone else hurt enough to use a charge on? Is Chevri damaged beyond the poison?[/sblock]
