(RP) Dangerous Legacy

[sblock=ooc]Can I see the guards who targeted Kreuger? Well enough to target them?

Are they just trying to close the door again, or it came off it's hinges entirely and they're holding it up?[/sblock]

Sel grimaces as he sees Krueger getting slashed and skewered, and tries to get into the room. Depending on the situation inside, he'll either attempt to reach the traitor, or fight against the guards (not sure if there are two or five guards?).
 

Only the two guards who you saw previously are in view. Where or from whom the crossbow bolts came you cannot tell. The door itself is still attached but busted up pretty badly, mainly around the locking mechanism where Krueger bust through
 

Arcane energy crackles from his hand as Liam gets a glance through the broken door to the guards beyond. He just sent Krueger in there, it was his responsability to make sure the dwarf didn't get trapped in there alone. He calls out even as he fires a blast at the nearest guard.

"Don't let them close the door!"

[sblock=ooc]Eldritch blast one of the guards at the door.
+7 touch attack, 2d6 damage
[/sblock]
 


Eldritch energy cackles from Liam's hands and explodes out at the guard he sees through the closing door. The bolt is true and the guard howls in pain, his veins all turning black as the energy dissipates throughout his body before returning to normal. Sel heads forward to try to stop the door from being closed. But the guard who absorbed the mighty blast rushes forward through the door, howling now in rage at Liam. "The plan..." The second guard shouts out, but his words are lost on the first guard as he barrels toward Liam and Sel.
 

Liam is surprised at the sudden rush from the guard, but does his best to keep his head about him. He draws his dagger from his belt, and steps back away from his attacker. The dagger in his hand feels odd, and he realizes that he has not had to draw it in anger since he purchased before his journey to Tev El'Rhoe. Now is no time for experimentation. With the dagger in one hand, he hurls another blast at the oncoming guard.

"Traitorous dog!"

[sblock=ooc]FA: Draw dagger
5' step back
Blast the guard again[/sblock]
 

((OOC: Sel is between Liam and the rushing guard... so I'd like to get his post before I respond to this one. The guard doesn't even seem to notice Sel))
 


Sel deftly steps to the side, seeing an opportunity to attack opening, should this guard continue his tunnel visioned assault on Liam. The Elf slashes out with his rapier ((attack roll; 22 total, 6 total points of damage)) as Liam blasts him once again with the Eldritch energy ((attack roll; 18 total, 9 points of damage)). The guard grunts as he continues his charge. As the guard passes by the elf, Sel stabs him in the kidney again with his rapier ((AoO roll; 19, 9 points of damage))

The guard looks significantly weakened but still quite dangerousas he shoves his sword into Liam's side ((Attack roll; 19 total, 8 points of damage)). The sword glows an eeire green and black as it seems to pump dark and evil energy into Liam. As well, a light bluish glow flows back into the guard and he looks slightly healthier... but not much. It is obvious on the guard's face now that he has made a serious tactical error. He turns to face Sel, figuring he can't do much to stop the bolts of eldritch energy that have wracked his body in so much pain, but he can perhaps out fight the elf and his puny little rapier. "I'll break that toothpick with the might of my blade, long ear!" He growls at Sel'Tarien as he presents his own long sword.

Meanwhile, Liam's head begins to swirl with visions of the netherworld and torments and tortures of all kinds. The warlock convulses and starts to scream. Even though he's spent much of his life dedicated to the darker things, nothing has prepaired him for this. Demons and devils now swirl around in his head, torturing unfortunate souls, eating their intestines, raping them, ripping flesh from their bodies, and stabbing them with barbed, poisoned claws... and yet, despite the fact that they are not doing it to him, he feels everything and can see it from the eyes of the unfortunate that it is happening to.

((Liam failed the Horrific Visions save. He can make a new roll each turn to break free from the full effect and act again, however, he will suffer a -2 to pretty much everything until he succeeds on a second roll, which he can make every minute after the first success... this is what happened to Jaeden earlier))
