Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

[Rhun]

The pounding sounds continue, and a scraping and scratching joins them, as if something with mighty talons is trying to claw its way through the walls. The fortifications appear to be holding, at least for now.

Meanwhile, Kyranvik manifests his psychic power, while Ryan rushes to don his armor. Esme casts a spell, in an attempt to read the thoughts of any that might be outside.

[sblock=For Esme]
Esme detects the presence of a dozen sentient minds outside of the manse walls, each of which seems fairly intelligent (INT 13). Those that she can read the surface thoughts though, seem to have a one track mind: hunger, flesh, blood, eat, kill![/sblock]

 

[Queenie]

"Friends," she addresses the group while pulling out a small pouch of herbs she picked earlier in the day, "We are greatly outnumbered and I am afraid to say whatever is on the other side of the door is hungry... for us... and also very intelligent. I suggest we prepare. And pray."

Esme begins a chant to the nature gods for protection and strength for her and her party.

[sblock] Esme casts Bless on the party [/sblock]

Sarryx angrily throws off the worn travelling blanket he'd been under and was once again glad that he slept with his rather light armour on. He rushes to the others and prepares for what he assumes is the upcoming battle.

"Well I always wanted to die in a cursed land" he hisses.

[sblock=ooc]
Move to the others in the main room. Prepare to unleash hell on any enemy that breaches the wall (i.e. ready line of fire 4d6, ref dc 20 for 1/2)[/sblock]

"We ain't dead yet Lizzie." says Kyranvik helping Ryan on with his armor.

[sblock]
if we have time, Ky will manifest Expansion as well.

Ares place a magical barrier upon him (Mage armor) and address Ireena.
Do you have an open window on the second story or the attic that is directly above the door and is not barred?
I can target the enemy from there while the door holds!

 

[Rhun]

Ireena shakes her head. "No, everything is boarded!"

As she speaks, Ismark joins you, strapping his sword belt to his waist. "Don't fret," he says. "The barricades have kept the zombies and ghouls at bay for several days. They should hold."

 

[s@squ@tch]

Delkat

"Milady, stay close." says the priest to the smokin' hot goth chick.

"It is a shame that there is no balcony or usable window -- if this swarm of creatures are the undead, there is a chance that I could disperse them."

He looks at Esmerelda,"Can you sense whether they are living or not?"

In the meantime, he hastily begins to put on various pieces of his armor.

 

[Nebten]

Donner has the ability to sleep in his armor and did so. He assists Delkat equiping himself.

Donner then awaits steadfast at one of the main possible entrances. If any openning arises, he'll jab his longspear through a sizable hole.

Don't start blasting off spells just yet, who know how long it'll be before they get through, if at all tonight.

 

[Rhun]

The pounding and scratching continues, the minutes ticking onward. Soon enough, a quarter of an hour has passed, then a half hour, and still the cacophony goes on without pause...

 

[Queenie]

ooc: I cast bless on everyone assuming we'd be all hero like.... I don't think Esme would have let so much time pass or Ky who cast all those spells on himself would either...

"We are not seriously going to let these creatures continue to bang down the door here night after night, are we? Are we going to stand here like cowards?" She turns to Ismark. "Which back entrance would be the best for us to unboard so we can draw the creatures away from the house and fight them? We are here to help and so we shall help!"
