Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

[s@squ@tch]

Seeing that the rest of the group was starting to warm to the idea of a full assault out the front door, the priest scans the group, looking for someone that could benefit from added strength of his goddess.

[sblock=OOC - updated prep]

Who could use a Bulls Strength? Ky?

Will have used a CLW on Ryan, dropping Divine Favor.

As far as preparation, Delkat will don his armor and gear, then cast Magic Circle vs Evil (60 min duration) upon himself. Use a his Eternal Wand of Magic Weapon on his morningstar (10 round duration), then his last action before heading outside will be to use a turn attempt to activate Sacred Vitality (10 round duration) upon himself.

Turn attempts remaining: 6/10

0th - (5) Light, Detect Magic, Resistance, Read Magic, Guidance
1st - (4+1) Divine Favor, Bless, Shield of Faith, Nimbus of Light, Endure Elements(D)

ooc: Delkat healed Ryan and Ismark in post # 434, ooc block.

Ryan is not opposed to attacking the undead but he is opposed to 1) doing in in melee when the party might be able to do it from a balcony, and 2) letting a single party member make the decision to start the battle when many other party members are against it.

Ares - Tiefling Wizard

Ares do not have the strength to oppose Kyranvik or any of the other warriors in the group but luckily for him, he is smarter.
Ares stands at the end of the stairs, motioning Sarryx to join him. Somehow, the dragon shaman had a silent agreement with the wizard about reasonable stuff. He is ready to launch his attacks as needed, but he really hopes that things will not go wrong, then, he will have to be the smart one.

*Ready action

 

[Rhun]

OOC: I'm hoping to get the next IC post up tonight. The way it is looking, it will be the start of combat against the undead horde.


[sblock=For Fenris]
Hey Fenris, can you resend me the specifics of your psionic feats from that alternate source? I thought I had saved them, but I can't seem to find them.

[Queenie]

In the middle of this heated discussion among friends Esme suddenly stands very still, her eyes seem to go blank and a strange breeze surrounds her head, her hair moving around her face in a slow motion.

To Esme it is as if time is standing still and the future begins to play out before her eyes. She sees much battle and fierce fighting, and grimly much death, her friends and even herself falling to the undead horde outside, the never ending sea of evil. The fight valiantly and cheer their over victories but more come and more come. One by one they fall. Finally just she remains until she too falls. She lies on the ground bleeding and before black overtakes her she sees two glowing red eyes hovering over her and a dark laughter fills her ears.

"NO!" she cries out suddenly springing back to herself, scaring her companions. "We must not go out, we must stay inside! Fate has shown me our destiny if we venture into the darkness this night. There are too many now!"

After her prophecy the tension in her body relaxes slightly, her breath comes out of her slowly and deeply; she seems to weaken as her vision fades from her.

Kyranvik has his hand on the main beam barring the door when Esme called out. The hair on his neck stood on end. He had heard this voice before. her feared it. He did not understand where these visions came from nor how Esme saw them, but after their long time together, he had learned that they were all too often terrifyingly correct. He listened with apprehension to the prophecy that came from Esme and stood stock still for a moment wrestling with his thoughts. He was a warrior, he burned to engage the foe to sweep away the resistance before him by strength of arm and discipline of mind. But he also knew Esme's prophecies were not without merit and that gave his pause. Pause enough that he sighed, and took his hand from the beam and replaced the other reinforcements he had removed. He then gives a primal scream towards the door, expressing his desire to fight, and in some small way challenging the hordes of evil outside to show the attackers that inside they were not afraid, they were not cowed. Inside they stood strong, and merely awaited the tactical advantage to make their counter-attack.

Kyranvik gives Esme a look that is hard to read before he stalks off to check the rest of the doors and make sure they are secure.

[sblock=Rhun]
I will dig those up for you this weekend Rhun

[Rhun]

As Kyranvik stalks off, deeper into the manor, the state of tension in the foyer drops noticeably. The sounds of the undead siege continue against the doors, barricaded windows and walls of the house, but everything seems to be holding.

 

[Nebten]

Donner goes to the second story and tries to get a view of what is going on outside.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Donner will need to tear down a barricade over a door or window to get a look outside. All portals are solidly blocked by tightly place wood planks, nailed into place.

Also, I don't know that I will get this updated today, but tomorrow night at the latest.

 

[Queenie]

Esme smiles as Ky stalks off, knowing how much strength it took to bring himself to not fight. She moves away from the door and cryptically says, "It has been destined." Without another word she slowly and silently moves across the room, up the stairs and returns to Ireena's bedroom where she promptly collapses into sleep.
