Verrick grunts in frustration and continues to swing at the wolf before him.
OOC: Cat's grace.
Sword (17)+4=21 for (6+5 flame)+3=14
Dagger (8)+4=12
Assumming his wolf drops he will move to flank any remaining wolf. If they are all dead he will scan the woods looking for more trouble.
Verrick's rapier finally dispacths the beast in front of him, cutting off most of it head! He then moves to flanking one of the wolves on Philo (but can't attack it this round)
As Braggi wads into the wolves on Philo, he glances into the woods and sees a dark space… darker the woods around it… he sees nothing else but has a bad feeling about it. Swinging his axe in a powerful arch, it cuts the first beast in half! Attack roll 19 +12+1 -4 =28 a hit, Damage 2+7+4+1 =14 points
…seriously wounding the next wolf. His backswing with the axe fails to strike the beast again through… it remains standing.
Norbac moves forward and stabs the last unwounded wolf on Philo, dealing it good damage but failing to drop it…
The wolves ignore the two other assailents and continue to attack Philo, while the other tries biting the nimble little gnome… Against Philo 9, and 8! D'oh both misses
Against Braggi 17 miss
…but the heroes avoid them again this round…
Garynn and Brambles flank and gang up on the wolf, and while his sickle misses the beast, the badger against bites and tears into it… but it is still alive (he crit, I am not sure if that was listed with the damage or not, will edit if I have to)
Philo slams his blade through one of the wounded wolves, cutting it in half… Cleave attack roll is 7 +12 =19 hit, minimum damage dispatches the beast
…and as they both fall, he notes something in the dark… something bad… a sinister spectral of a figure robed in ragged darkness… he cannot make out the fiends face, only two cold white glowing pinpoints of light… the thing is cluches a hand-and-a-half sword of Suel's design… angry and ruinous scripts the glow slightly red can be seen on the blade…
Spoiler for Philo only PLEASE
In your mind you hear "Your 'light' is like a beacon of blight to me… this is Lightkiller and will be your doom if you do not flee NOW… you have been warned… I will not warn you again…"
end
Nadariad flanks the last wolf facing the party, slamming her fist down into its spnine… Attack roll 9+5 +2 (flanking) +1 (Norboc's spell) =17, damage 5+2 =7points
…it snaps with a bang the echoes through the small clearing and the creature collapses dead onto the ground!
Conditions…
Verrick has taken 13 points of damage
Braggi has taken 10 points of damage
Norbac has taken 13 points of damage
Garynn and Brambles are still unwounded
Philo has taken 28 points of damage
Nadariad has taken 13 points of damage
Can I make any knowledge checks to find out many more about this 'Lightkiller being?
Probably no good, but I have Knowledge (nobilty) +1, Knowledge (religion) +5
Comrades, be careful.
The phantom in front of us seems to call itself 'Lightkiller'. I know not what it is, but I feat it's power may be beyond us.
"What phantom?" asks Norbac. "And so? What he going to do, send wolves after us?" says Norbac. Anyway, he knows that it won´t wise to underestimate this new enemy, and being the dawn close and thus the renewing of his powers he feels confident on using all his powers. He starts casting a healing spell on Philo.
[Cast Cure Serious Wounds on Philo, using Invisibility Purge. Heals 5+6+6+6=23 hit points. If he has time, he´ll use all the buffs in his repertoire, in this order: Bull´s strenght and Enlarge person, also on Philo, Divine favor and Shield of Faith on himself, and Lesser Restoration on Nadariad, healing 1 point of Dex damage. If combat starts he´ll read his scroll of Divine Power.]
Nadaria stops her singing, but continues to hum under her breath as she catches her breath after the fight, "I say, this is a most peculiar wood." When she hears Philo mention the phantom, her ears perk up.
"The undead are not to be trifled with. The Chained Lord protect us all." She grips the amulet of Zuoken under her robes and begins muttering words in Ancient Baklunish, touching it to her forehead, left hand and heart. Immediately, the wounds she received from the wolves begin to suture and heal.
Feeling somewhat refreshed, she straightens her clothes and keeps a close watch in the direction indicated by the paladin.
OOC:
Cast CLW on myself, heal 5 pts of damage. I am now down only 8 pts. If Norbac gets to cast the spell on me, I thank him quietly with a smile. "Your strength of faith is impressive."
Verrick remains vigilent. He scans the forest carefully holding his burning sword aloft. "What do you suggest Philo, how can we avoid this 'phantom'. Our foe lies elsewhere, unless you thing this is somehow connected to the Orge Magi?"
