Liam skids into the room just in time to see the guard's stabbing. A quick glance around the room reveals his friends engaged in battle with one guard. . . and something else. Liam stares into an empty corner of the room for a second.

"Who the hell are you?"

Quickly turning back to matters at hand, he levels on hand at the guard and arcane energy crackles as a bolt fires towards the obvious opponent.

Sel stands frozen in shock for about a second, stunned by the sheer coldness of the deed he just witnessed. Though he had missed just how the other guard was dropped, he had seen the murder first-hand. While he tries to process what just happened, he follows up against the vile guard and strikes at him again.

 

[Vendetta]

Growling as viciously as a halfling can, Odo moves forward, his tiny legs and feet easily able to avoid the large, dead body of the fallen guard. The Vile Guard laughs as the dagger is easily turned away.

Sel'Tarien, shaking himself free of the shocking murder he has just witnessed, Sel presses his attack, stepping forward and spears the Vile guard in the side with his rapier, drawing a good deal of blood.

With the Vile Guard having moved out of the way of the door, Jaeden opens it and steps into the room, calling out as he does, "Your Highness? Are you alright? Where are you?"

"CURSE YOU!" The Vile Guard shouts out at Jaeden, then without heed to his own defenses, charges across the room at Jaeden. Both Sel'Tarien and Odo are fully able to take adventage of the dropping defenses and score more blood against the Vile Guard. Crying out at the top of his lungs, the Vile Guard invokes the name of his lord, Movak, the King's own brother, as his blade pierces deeply into the back of Jaeden, who cries out in agony as life energy flows from him into the Vile Guard, closing up some of his wounds.

With Liam's inexplicable talking to a wall "Who the hell are you?" He says, his attention is quickly drawn back to the fight when the bard cries out. The warlock unleashes a dangerous bolt of Eldritch energy from his hands that seems to singe the air and leave the faintest scent of sulfur. The bolt is true, nailing the Vile Guard in the back. The guard turns back around, glaring evilly at the group just beyond the door.

With the cry of Jaeden, the dwarf also shouts out his blood-curdling battle cry and charges the Vile guard. The dwarf slams into the Vile guard with the blade of his axe spraying a wide arc of blood around the room. The guard is almost in shock and the ferocity of the Dwarf's attack and you can hear him muttering to himself "Where the hell did he come from?"

Meanwhile, Jaeden continues to scream... but not in pain... in fear! He swats at the air around him as if he's being attacked by a swarm of bees until he trips over himself and falls to the ground, still crying out in fear.

Odo: Attacks Vile Guard rolling 5 (1d20) +9 (Bonuses + Flanking) = 14, miss.
AoO attack against Vile Guard rolling 15 (1d20) +7 (bonuses) = 22, HIT! Doing 2 (1d3) +1 (Bonuses) = 3 points of damage.

Sel'Tarien:Attacks Vile Guard rolling 17 (1d20) +9 (Bonuses) = 26, HIT! Doing 5 (1d6) +4 (bonuses) = 9 points of damage.

The blue circle around Victor's mini is to show him as invisible... Only Liam can see Victor at this moment. Jaeden failed his will save (rolling a natural 1) and is now plagued by "Horrific Visions"

 

[Knight Otu]

Sel'Tarien rushes in after Krueger to attack the vile guard again and look for the king.

 

[ender_wiggin]

The invisible newcomer is for a moment completely at a loss for words. Invisibility was... not absolute, he realized.

"Not a foe," he finally asserts, with more confidence then he had intended.

The guard, whose demeanor Victor had picked up on by now troubled him. Stabbing one of his own brethren? There was something inherently... inhuman about the way he acted. He almost broke invisibility to intervene, but decided to wait just a little longer before doing something he would regret.

He moves, still invsible to Jaeden, hoping that the man wouldn't hurt himself. If Victor will break invisibility to stop any self-destructive action.

[OOC: move to Jaeden, staying invisible]

 

[hafrogman]

Liam grunts noncommittally at their unseen guest, but focuses more on the task at hand. He tries to maneuver closer to the doorway to attempt a clear shot at the vile guard without hindering Sel's path to their foe.

[Vendetta]

Seeing the potential for devestating injury and realizing the source from which that potential has come, Victor rush past the vile guard unnoticed to watch over the handsome bard, flailing around on the floor in utter terror. Victor watches but the bard seems to do nothing at this point that could harm himself, other than laying at the feet of the vicious Vile Guard.

In pain, the Vile Guard whirls around on Krueger. "BY THE POWER OF LORD MOVAK!" He shouts and shoves his blade into the shoulder of the dwarf.

The dwarf grimmaces, "BE THAT ALL YE GOTS?" The dwarf taunts, managing to shrug off the horrific visions that the sword induces, which felled Jaeden only a moment before. Unfortunately, the energy drained from Krueger flows into the Vile Guard, closing the gash from Krueger's axe somewhat.

Sel'Tarien rushes forward and skewers the Vile Guard on his rapier. The elf then looks around the room quickly for signs of the King. But the king is nowhere to be found. However, the chair in the middle of the room has a splatter of fresh blood on it.

Liam once again summons the dark energies that brew inside of him and sends another eldritch blast at the Vile guard, one that scores a hit and makes him wince in pain. The Vile Guard is not looking so well now, his face is haggard and wounds now finally cover his body, unhealed.

Gemble runs up, following Liam, for a better look, but otherwise, doesn't do anything else. Meanwhile, Odo turns back to his former patien looking for some sign of life, some hope that the man might yet be saved... but finds no such sign.

[hafrogman]

Liam curses to himself as the guard remains standing still. They don't have time for this. Something bad is happened somewhere. And he still hasn't found Lady Asta.

"Lord Movak be damned! And you as well!"

Dark bands of energy illuminate his face with sickly light for a moment as his hand glows and unleashes another bolt towards their foe.

"Where has the traitor taken the king?" Sel shouts out as he continues his assault.

 

[Vendetta]

While Victor and Odo continue with their previous actions, Sel'Tarien lunges forward again with his rapier, catching the struggling vile guard right in center mass, his sharp rapier easily puncturing the chestplate as would be expected from such a weapon with a clean strike. The guard grunts in pain, and raises his sword. Krueger roars ferociously and raises his own axe. The guard calls upon the name of Movak... but before he can finish, a bolt of eldritch energy smashes into his face and he topples over onto the ground, twitching.
