Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goonalan" data-source="post: 5673844" data-attributes="member: 16069">With your help Zerriksa lowers herself down on to the cold floor of the crypt besides Mirtala- the cook is growing increasingly pale and wan, it's as if all the blood has drained from her face- the shakes come more often now also.Zerriksa rubs her hands together furiously, all the time muttering a deep atonal chant- the wise-woman's eye tight shut, slowly she reaches out to touch the cook...It's like an electric shock.Mirtala's body arcs and dancers- shakes furiously, her head- against the wall, slips down, Viator dives in quickly arrests the woman's fall, gently lies her down, as best he can. Mirtala continues to shake and quiver.Zerriksa's chant reaches a rumbling climax and...[GM]Zerriksa's heal check = +6 (3 x aid another) +9 (Zerriksa'a skill bonus) +17 roll = 32- success.[/GM]Mirtala opens her eyes, her face flushes as the blood runs back in, she smiles- brings one hand up up to stifle her laughter...She cannot- she laughs.It's infectious, you smile back at the woman.Mirtala, laughs some more, throaty- hilarious.Your endeavour to keep your own smiles in place- to reassure the woman, and yet... the moment for laughter seems to have passed.And yet, uncontrollably Mirtala squeals with delight, roars with joy- and with each passing moment the blood again drains from her face, worse than before, the woman's skin becomes translucent.Mirtala's skin is no longer visible at all, you are looking at a skull.A laughing skull.You all take a step back...The skull stops laughing.A great snaking red tongue flops out of Mirtala's mouth, the appendage is a good twelve inches long- it probes the air for a moment and then retreats back in to it's cave."This flesh is mine! It has been promised to me. You dare to interfere! I am the Lord of Rivenroar- I am waiting for you..."Mirtala is suddenly normal again, the skull is gone- her flesh and face are restored- the laughter is gone, the tongue has gone, her mouth has gone...Mirtala has no mouth, likewise the flesh at her nostrils is sealed over- the woman's eyes scream terror.She cannot breath!She's suffocating...You have to act fast, or else Mirtala will die.[GM]RP and an associated Skill Check please, don't hesitate to call on Zerriksa...
