Strahd's "RttToEE" CLOSED

[stonegod]

With Korbryn and Miltiades having gone upstairs, Ithiken looks at Lenuran and The Kid. "So... read any good parchments lately?"

Awkwardly tumbling his knife---his hands seemed to have more of a shake that usual---the Kid looked at the elf with one of the 'Do you think I have time to read' looks.

"No."

Hearing the THUD from upstairs, he launched himself to the bottom of the stairs, looking apprehensibly up. "Everything okay?" His voice was small, uncertain.

The dwarf bashes the door open and stumbles into the room.
Inside this small room, a terrible gibbering sound accompanied by horrific, mind-wrenching howls can be heard, strangely when the door was closed you heard nothing.
A small bed quakes and a chair, a nightstand, some pillows and various other objects spin wildly around the room of their own volition.

[sblock=Korbryn Reflex save]
Failed [/sblock]

Once inside the room a swirling vase shutters onto Korbryn head for 1 point of damage.
On the quaking bed sits a young woman, she gibbers and shrieks, flailing fruitlessly at the dwarf, she appears as a woman gripped in the throes of utter madness.

[Sblock=Will saves]
Miltiades: Fail
Korbryn: Success
[/sblock]

Outside, Miltiades stands and stare blankly at the woman.

Outside, Miltiades stands and stare blankly at the woman.

About to call down not to worry, its just a tough door, Miltiades is actually caught off guard when Korbryn opens the door and the gibbering woman shrieks. His holy symbol is now held only slackly in his hand as he stares at her.

Korbryn Rivenshield, Dwurfolk Fighter

Aware of the failed assault upon his sense, the dwarf utters a gutteral growl. While he didn't want to slay the apparently insane woman, neither did he want to be overcome by her crazy psycho babble.

Turning Anrak on edge, Korbryn smites the woman with the flat of his blade, trying to knock her into unconciousness.

Round 1.

Once the door is opened, the shrieks and loud gibbering can be heard by those who left downstairs to overcome the ghost appearance.

Aware of the failed assault upon his sense, the dwarf utters a gutteral growl. While he didn't want to slay the apparently insane woman, neither did he want to be overcome by her crazy psycho babble.
Turning Anrak on edge, Korbryn dodge the flying chair and tries to smite the woman with the flat of his blade, trying to knock her into unconsciousness, but the his sword is hit by a swirling pillow and divert the attack.

Outside the room, Rao's priest stand with gaping mouth, staring hypnotized at the unnatural scene.

Shrieking the woman raise to her feet, amazingly Korbryn spots that she do not touch the ground, the swirling objects pass through her like she wasn't there, she then tries to punch Korbryn but miss.

* Thandis, Ithiken and Lenuran can act, it will take them 1 round running or two round walking to reach to the second floor.

[DEFCON 1]

Hearing the dwarf growl as he charged into the room, Ithiken glances up to the ceiling then back to the other two. "Sounds like Korbryn's getting into trouble again. I guess we should go help out, huh?" He then turns and starts jogging to the stairs to go up to the second floor.

Shrieking the woman raise to her feet, amazingly Korbryn spots that she do not touch the ground, the swirling objects pass through her like she wasn't there, she then tries to punch Korbryn but miss.

Now realizing that the woman is an apparition of some sort, the dwarven warrior no longer worries about pulling his punches. With Anrak's keen blade flashing in the dim light, the son of Clan Rivenshield assaults the ghostly figure!

Round 2.

Now realizing that the woman is an apparition of some sort, the dwarven warrior no longer worries about pulling his punches. With Anrak's keen blade flashing in the dim light, the son of Clan Rivenshield assaults the ghostly figure, but not before the flying nightstand slams into him. But the stout dwarf retains his balance and immediately slices the ghostly visage, but alas, his magical blade flies through her.

Outside, Miltiades continues to stare.

The gibbering woman begin to fly in the room madly and straight though the dwarf, in the second she comes out of him, Korbryn feels a terrible headache.

Running to the second floor, the loud mutters and whines that come from the opened door penetrates deep into the newcomer's heads. All three stand around Miltiades and stare with gaping mouths at the swirling objects and the flying woman inside the room.

How does EVERYONE fail their will saves EXCEPT the dwarven tank?


Korbryn roars a dwarven battlecry and ignores the terrible pain in his head. He reverses the momentum of his heavy blade and again slashes at the gibbering woman...
